## Summary

Ian from Electromaker discusses Nordic's announcement of the nRF54H20, a new ultra-low power BLE SoC featuring multiple ARM Cortex-M33 and RISC-V cores for edge AI and long-range connectivity. He also reviews the Theengs Plug, an ESP32-based BLE-to-MQTT gateway designed for DIY smart home integration, and the Inkplate 5, an e-paper display board with an ESP32 currently funded on Crowd Supply. Finally, he covers the Indiedroid Nova, a high-performance single-board computer using the RK3588S processor, comparing its capabilities and pricing to the Raspberry Pi 4.
