Hey folks, I'm happy to report I was able to create a custom teensy with sdram using this thread as a reference 😁
I was already in the throws of designing a custom teensy board that had usb host, usb device, and microsd all on a single edge...
I reinforce the jacks with a bit of solder on the mounting tabs., and now check just about everything that has a micro usb to see if it needs the same. This has prevented a lot of problems
Now i did my PCB with teensy 4.1 and a wiring sandwich that put the cs42448 at the bottom side,the pitch that works is 2.0mm
There's a connector on the up side to connect a TFT 7" RA8875,and also and EXT SDCARD reader because the building SDCARD...
Having just fallen down the Eurorack rabbit hole ( acquiring parts, building related stuff ) I am waiting to pounce when it is ready to be pounced upon.
