   Also no floating point, if I’ve understood correctly?

   It’s a slightly odd device, isn’t it?   
      
   If you wanted to explore RISC-V then there’s more flexible options. If   
   you just wanted a microcontroller for something and didn’t care too much   
   about CPU architecture then the dual-architecture thing is wasted. Two   
   entire CPU cores that you don’t get to use.
