I have many similar projects. By far, the hardest part for anything I actually want to share is user friendly wifi provisioning. The rest is easy, displays, devices and power supply. (I have 5 different HL-tech radars on boards with 3 different displays, one using LVGL).

I am using the app based Espressive app based provisioning now and it's the best of the lot but still flakey on the Risk V chips like much of the IDF/Arduino wrappers. It's a hard problem.

Most of it works pretty well with the Extensa core so I suggest sticking with those.

NXP and STM make NFC<->I2C EEPROM chips that are <$1 which can easily be used to transmit data from a mobile device directly into the target.

I’m in the thick of implementing Improv support, which uses Web Serial to configure WiFi. It’s worth checking out.

I'll add it and give it a try. Thanks.
