That FPU is the differentiator here: it handles PID coefficients, sensor fusion math, and filter taps in hardware instead of soft-emulated fixed-point, which saves both CPU cycles and code space.
Peripheral set — what connects without extra glue
The connectivity list is what saves board space: CANbus, USB OTG, and multiple serial interfaces (UART, SPI, I²C, SSI, Microwire) mean most industrial or automotive subnets connect directly. The 12-channel 12-bit ADC covers analog inputs like potentiometers, current shunts, or thermistor bridges without an external converter.
That means normal supply through distribution; no urgency to stockpile or qualify a replacement.
