Hey, I have found an interesting module , ESP32 alterative and arduino compatible bk7238 with WiFi & BLE funcs, which is released by beken, a listed company of exchange in China as known as espressif ESP. the most important thing is, the price of this module is just  4.2 CNY, that is  just 0.6 bucks in China!
The link is on Taobao, which is the Chinese demastic version of Aliexpress:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?abbucket=16&id=826326611685

here is its official site:
https://www.bekencorp.com/

you may try it using arduino IDE,

open the preference of arduino IDE,add this link to it:
https://dl2.bekencorp.com/arduino/package_bk7238_index.json
then open devboard manager,search the keyword “BK”,you can find the board,there are many useful examples.

there's tons of these. all are basically the same blob of code from CEVA. the problem is that like most hw companies they have no good sw people so doing anything is like pulling teeth. you're stuck with their shitty binaries since the docs are proprietary

There is openBeken for those Beken MCUs, even esphome already supports them.

there are no bk boards in the board manager, even after adding the link in the arduino ide prefs
