It is a 32bit 24V mainboard with a Huada HC32F460 KCTA ARM Cortex-M4 with 192KB SRAM and 512KB Flash.
The speed of the ARM chip is listed as 200MHz by the manufacturer.
The mainboard comes with TMC2208 silent stepper drivers *soldered* onto the board (they can't be swapped out!).
It offers a microSD card reader, a USB-C connector and a 10 pin connector for adding the control unit.

??? info "GC6609 stepper drivers being used as well!"

It seems that Anycubic changed the stepper drivers from original TMC2208 to cheap 2208/2209 clones, called "GC6609".

I personally don't know anything about these dirvers, but @aspiringnobody shared his knowledge and findings in [this discussion](https://github.com/1coderookie/KobraGoNeoInsights/discussions/13). If you know anything more, please reach out and contribute to the discussion!

Thanks again to @aspiringnobody who came across this and reported it!
