Would be interesting to see the Arduino IDE generating “raw iron” code for this quadcore processor. I learned to like the Arduino IDE for the RP2040 with it’s rather easy ability to run code on both cores. Having a board and environment to run raw iron code on four A53 cores would be interesting…
On the other end, why buying Arduino at all? Why not just providing a qualcomm based board and a matching Arduino BSP? If they want to promote their board and processor, just support it properly on the Arduino infrastructure.

Do you mean “bare metal” or what is “raw iron”?
I consider those terms equivalent.
Ahh OK, never heard it. I don’t believe there is much iron in computers, copper and aluminum metals yes.
