Description

Requesting the inclusion of support for the Sparkfun Edge board with Cortex M4 MCU.

This board is quite new and the MCU is particularly low power making it ideal for ML applications.

Is there a bounty system for new boards? Are there open source instructions for creating new board definitions?
