Still no info on whether those M3 cores are easily user programmable.

The hardware, as you imply, is the easy part. Such devices normally fail due to poor programming environments and poor inter-processor communication software mechanisms.

The only one that has Got That Right is the XMOS xCORE processors, programmed in xC (i.e. Hoare's CSP/Occam), with C/C++ as an escape route.

Fred27:
Some more info including a demo of how to code on the device. (Skip to about 45 minutes for code.)


If you can't be bothered watching the video, some of the interesting stuff it shows:

* coding in C which I assumed was running on one of the Cortex-M4F cores, but apparently was on the Cortex-A7
* the usual Visual Studio deployment and debugging experience
* OTA update of configuration and device code via AzureIn the Q&A at the end it was stated that the demo C code was running on the A7 core. Targeting the M4Fs is apparently coming later. There was no interaction with Linux shown. Perhaps this OS only accessible by the device manufacturer? Maybe this is less like a Pi / Beaglebone equivalent than I thought.

OMG  :scared:

is it really true? Will I need to install the April Win10 update? That would suck because I just got my HDD filled up enough to still let the OS run, but not enough room to install any more updates, and that module crashes every boot WoHoo! I was enjoying that...

You can express that in centuries! MSDOS exists for nearly half a century so there you go.
