The W806 microcontroller

As I’ve discussed the debugger for the W806 microcontroller, let’s now have a look at the microcontroller itself. Apart from the W806, it seems there is also the W801 on sale. These goes for cheaper then the W806, and appear to be the W806 with added 2.4 GHz radio, providing IEEE802.11b/g/n (aka WiFi 1/2/4) and…


W806 debugging (part 1)

A year ago, I wrote about the W806 microcontroller. Back then, I ended with the lack of debugging support. When the CKLink Lite debugger for C-Sky based chips appeared on AliExpress, I wondered whether it might support the W806. However, being priced ~€50 I didn’t want to gamble. Recently an article regarding turning a Blue…


A new kid on the block?

Browsing AliExpress, I notice a new offer. A microcontroller board with a price tag that reminds of pre-silicon-crisis prices. This board has a WinnerMicro W806 microcontroller. I am not familiar with this brand, and curious what this is. It ain’t no ARM Cortex-M microcontroller. It’s neither a RISC-V microcontroller. This is an architecture I’ve not…
