Whilst the cloud build has extended its useful life (with the limited flash size), the limited available IO renders this chip a poor choice for future designs. We are therefore going to restrict acceptance of new targets with this chipset, in favour of AT32 or G4 options. Existing targets will maintain full support. + +New targets for designs that use SPI for RX communications will not be accepted. This is because we favour the use of serial for RX communications, which is also inline with the wishes of the ELRS development team. Existing targets will maintain support for the time being. The BMI270 IMU is no longer recommended due to calibration issues (drift). :::
