Can you run Linux on an ESP32? Until recently, you could just answer "no!" But, in fact, you can run Linux on a specific variant of the ESP32-S3 MCU! Based on this, Clem saw an opportunity to build his own Linux-powered SBC in the form factor of the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module.
Along the way, he creates a CM4-style template, a simple command line flashing tool to make the process easier, and two iterations of his module (called Sudosom) that could be used whenever a real Raspberry Pi might be overkill, but a simple MCU just won't cut it for your project.
