New Compact Development Board Phyx LANA-TNY based on CH32V203 RISC-V MCU got my attention and here is some useful details about it. Phyx LANA-TNY board is the new contender in the field of mini development boards. It is developed by Phyx – a small belgian company run by Gert van Gool and Wim Van Gool. This bite sized board offers lots of features for embedded systems applications, and also it is suitable for seasoned developers familiar with low level coding environment.
Powerful Performance in a Tiny package
This LANA-TNY contains 32 bit RISC-V core microcontroller CH32V203. This MCU supports USB 2.0 full speed host/device interface and clocking speeds up to 144 MHZ. This tiny board provides 10KB of SRAM and 32KB of single cycle flash, plus an additional 224KB of external flash for extended data storage. Hence this storage is ideal for Embedded devices and Data logging projects, then ADC, timers, UART, I2C, SPI features makes this board to handle various input and output interface effortlessly. Even though it is similar to Adafruit QT py or seed studio XIAO boards, it is having on board addressable RGB LED WS2812B with additional pins to control it.

Programming Options
The WCH CH32V203 microcontroller have limited community support compared to popular boards like ESP32, ST32, and there is no CircuitPython or MicroPython support for coding. Phyx recommends using the Embeetle IDE and it provides official support. Otherwise you can use Arduino Core Support for CH32 boards.
