Arduino Nano 33 Ble sense general Questions

hello guys im new and i have never used Microcontrollers other than Arduino nano/ uno, but due to me doing a new project i was wondering how different is the Arduino Nano 33Ble sense comapred to arduino nano.

Question 1: why is the Arduino Nano 33 ble sense that i have ordered a week and half ago is still being processed and not even shipped

Question 2: is there any other arduino which can use Tinyml to detect cough ? or is it just Arduino nano 33 ble sense.

Question 3: can the Arduino Nano 33 ble run other programs when its running the cough detection code? or is the code too much ?

Pretty much the only thing the same between the two is that the boards are the same shape and most of the pins are in the same place. Other than that, they are about as different as any two Arduino boards can be. It's definitely not just an Arduino Nano with BLE. The Nano 33 BLE is far more powerful than the Nano, but also much more complex.

The people here on the forum won't be able to help you with that. Please contact Arduino support via this form:

I'm not sure. I see from this Edge Impulse tutorial:

This tutorial should work on most Arm-based Arduino development boards with at least 64K of RAM, like the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense.

While the SAMD boards like the MKR Zero have 32 KB of RAM. However, they do mention the SAMD boards in that tutorial and also in this blog post:

This library will run on any Arm-based Arduino platform including the Arduino MKR family or Arduino Nano 33 IoT, providing it has enough RAM to run your model.

Certainly there's no hope of doing it on a classic Nano though.

Of course, the Nano 33 BLE Sense also has the advantage of the onboard sensors, while other Arduino boards have either no sensors or only an IMU. But you can always connect your choice of external sensors to any Arduino board.

The Portenta H7 certainly has the capability for some serious machine learning applications. You can see an example of that here:
https://www.arduino.cc/pro/tutorials/portenta-h7/por-openmv-fd
But the Nano 33 BLE Sense is more mature than the Portenta, so the support for the Nano 33 BLE has had longer to accumulate.

I'm not sure. Perhaps someone else here on the forum will be able to answer that.
