4. Make the chip attractive to those who favor RISC-V and would not buy it otherwise.

This includes myself. I'll always pick a RISC-V option over an ARM one, if I can do so for the purpose.

On that note, I have already ordered some rp2350-based development boards.

Pimoroni does a very sweet rp2350 board with 16MB flash and 8MB PSRAM. It landed on my desktop a few days ago but I've not had a look at it yet. I might bring up a Rust-based operating system on it, I already have have it up and running in QEmu but it will need a lot of changes to even boot as the Hazard3 cores only supports machine and user modes, there's no paging.

I now have a Bus Pirate 6 on its way as well :)

I was shocked to discover the Hazard3 cores doesn't do floating point. It would have been quite nice to have that.
