How to run Linux on an ESP32

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 create his own SBC on Linux in the form of the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module.

Along the way, he created a CM4-style model, 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 could be excessive, but a simple MCU simply won't be enough for your project.
