Some functions, particularly analog, are particularly tricky to implement
-in an early SoC. In addition, CAN is still patented. For unusual, patented

and so on it is easier and simpler to deploy an ultra-low-cost low-speed
companion Micro-Controller such as the crystal-less STMS8003 ($0.24) or
the crystal-less STM32F072 or other suitable MCU, depending on requirements.
