Which microcontrollers do boards using the CS4344 use?
Most are built on FPGA (3), STM32 (3) and ESP32 (1).
How big is a typical board using the CS4344?
The median is 101.5 × 91.4 mm, and 40% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the CS4344?
By GitHub stars, Sd2snes by mrehkopf, with 717 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the CS4344 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
