Thanks for the reference.  I like the approach of using iCE40.  The
decision of no persistent storage would be great, indeed, there are
useful use cases, but it's not for my important use case (of having my
existing private keys on a device).  I don't know if hardware-assisted
address randomization and RAM scrambling make sense.

For WCH chips, there are variants with 64KiB SRAM running @144MHz.
Considering other possibilities, ESP32-C3 (400KiB SRAM, @160MHz) would
be a candidate.

For me, Raspberry Pi zero is out of scope.  As a system, it is complex
enough as a desktop computer.
