Memory available on Quatix 3

Here's question that will reveal the depth (or lack thereof) of my knowledge!

Is there any chance that the Quatix 3 will be upgraded to provide me with the 122kB that I enjoy on the VA-HR?

Is it "just" a VM upgrade to CIQ2 (or 3?) or is there some real hardware limitation?

My app uses 100 kB (max), so will require some serious re-engineering to fit into 56kB, but I really would like to be able to offer it to the Quatix 3 community.

Maybe such speculation is pie-in-the-sky since the Quatix 5 is already being spruiked.

CIQ 1.x devices will never become CIQ 2.x devices. Yes, it's a HW thing.

But the Quatix 3 has been upgraded to the Quatix 5. the 2.2.6 SDK shows it as a target. (CIQ wise, it' like a fenix 5)

Jim is correct on this one here. There is no space left to grow CIQ on the 1.x devices anymore. There might be small updates, but 1.4 is likely the last of CIQ 1.x. New devices will be on the 2.x platform. The quatix 5 is the new quatix platform and, much like the f3 and q3, is very similar to the fenix 5 with few marine specific tweaks.
