DMA will work fine. I remember a time when we were rewarded for making do with what we had rather than putting a handful of CPU cores on a sensor. These do not sound interesting to me, honestly. It sounds more like they can't figure out what they need to make.

That was a time when gates were not as plentiful as they are now. Both the new Nordic SoCs are designed at 22nm.

It can be a challenge as to what to use all the gates for.
