Context of the board with other fossasia badges

[chrysn]

Great to see a Open Hardware badge being developed in this form!

The current README is a bit confusing when coming to this as a user of existing badges that were resold from LeSun Electronics B1144 -- it easily becomes unclear which hardware one has at hand, and which firmware might work for it.

Could you add some information to the README on how this relates to other boards, and which level of compatibility does it aim for (apparently it aims for display compatibliity with the 11x44 LEDs, but is pin compatibility a goal too?), and what its relation their relation is?

Ok, thanks for question! I think this question is even more relevant for the firmware repo. So, I am moving it there.

To clarify in this repo regarding the hardware, I added the following text into the readme intro already:

While its latest hardware revision may not yet be mass-produced, it shares the same RISC-V chip as many other LED badges (e.g., LeSun, Victronics) but provides extra functionality, including a built-in microphone for real-time ambient sound visualization, external flash storage, and two top-mounted buttons that allow for mini-games and other interactive features. To see which functions are supported or in progress, visit the dedicated firmware repository.
