Cicerone board
Move-X Cicerone board is a high-performance, low-power, Arduino MKR compatible DVK board based on Move-X MAMWLE LoRa module and u-blox MAX-M10S GNSS module. This combination allows best-in-class GNSS, long-range wireless connections and high-performance MCU processing in a low-power solution for extreme battery life.
Overview
Cicerone allows to build tracking applications around the world with meter-level accuracy and to communicate long-range, low-power data via LoRaWAN.
The integrated Li-Po charging circuit enables the board to manage battery charging through the USB port.
It is based on u-blox MAXM10S GNSS and Move-X MAMWLE modules. This combination allows for best-in-class synergy between GNSS technology and long-range wireless connectivity for power-constrained applications.

"But can it run Doom?" is more than just a joke in the tech world. It is also a decent litmus test for the computing power of hardware. That test isn't very relevant for modern computers, but it is still worth asking when discussing microcontrollers. Microcontrollers vary in dramatically in processing power and memory, with models to suit every application. But if you have an Arduino Nano ESP32 board, you can run Doom as Naveen Kumar has proven. The Nano ESP32 is a small IoT development board for the ESP32-S3 microcontroller, featuring Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth® connectivity. It also has a relatively high clock speed and quite a lot of memory: 240MHz and 512kB SRAM, respectively. That still isn't enough to meet the requirements of the original Doom release, which needed a lot more RAM. But Kumar demonstrates the use of an MCU-friendly port that runs well on this more limited hardware. Want to give it a try yourself? You'll need the Nano ESP32, an Adafruit 2.8" TFT LCD shield, an M5Stack joystick, a Seeed Studio Grove dual button module, a breadboard, and some jumper wires to create a simple handheld console. You'll have to compile and flash the Retro-Go firmware, which was designed specifically for running games like Doom on ESP32-based devices. You can then load the specialized WAD (Where's All the Data) files. Kumar reports an average frame rate at a 320×240 resolution, which is very playable.
