Given the name I was hoping this would be something specific to Arm hardware.
Oh well I guess the Archimedes wasn’t that we’ll known.

So it's software to write firmware, not software to design hardware. Not sure how ambiguous that was to others but I got the wrong impression from the title.

Are the 50 for loops truly necessary in the manual C code example of a Kalman filter? At least introduce a few functions (that could be inlined and loop-fused) for some matrix operations?

Its specifically meant for control systems no?
hardware engineering is a very broad field and the title is misleading

What's the relationship between this and Model Based Systems Engineering, if any?

Good luck displacing MATLAB, it's great there's an OSS alternative here.

(Side note: While running Python itself on a microcontroller is growing in popularity for educational and hobby applications, there’s no real future for pure Python in real-time mission-critical deployments.)
Bridging the two could be a real win for people using hardware like the M5Stack ecosystem, which has a wealth of peripherals and a robust Python stack.
