If hate the esp32 adc, let me introduce you to its "fpu." Or its external flash and memory...

  But no real competition for on-chip Wifi/BLE around. Only ugly two-chip solutions or hyper exotic stuff with no community.

    > But no real competition for on-chip Wifi/BLE around. No competition or no market? I can't imagine Espressif is selling much volume of these chips. The fact that they can't even fix their SPI module would tend to indicate that their engineering staff is very thin.

      They've sold a billion of the things. https://www.espressif.com/en/news/1_Billion_Chip_Sales https://www.espressif.com/en/news/1_Billion_Chip_Sales

    I'm not sure about WiFi, but JieLi (JL) definitely has a huge marketshare for single-chip BLE/BT. They are the origin of the infamous "the Bluetooth device is ready to pair" stock prompt voice.

    Not sure I'd call the silabs chips hyper exotic. The SIWG917 is intended as a direct competitor to ESP32s. It's a bit more expensive, but not unexpectedly so.

    oh there are a lots, it's just that they are not interested in Western market. BES, Sifli, realtek, boufallo, etc.
