    never heard "work-alike" but have seen arduino-compatible, etc.

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    how to ya'll feel about calling things arduino compatible or calling things that sound like arduino? we got the OK from arduino to call our board... boarduino. any hoo, nothing is shipping at all, so when it's "marketed", that's a good time to punish (me). we do have a new code name, will be...

    Coremark

    totally fair, and thanks for clarifying. we have over 1900 repos, as you can expect folks have tons of demands that we support and optimize for their hardware in our libraries (even if we don't own that hardware!) if the repo is effectively abandoned, we will treat it as such and move forward in...

    Coremark

    correct, however, here comes the pile-on-phil-train choo choo, that train in never late :) any hoo, for the chill nice people - limor was feeding the baby at the same time as making the commits and rounded down for simplicity: the changes were made with claude code over speech-to-text. we can...

    Coremark

    more coremark measurements is always great. would love to see the new ESP32-E22 measured - its 2x 500mhz risc v cores and dual-band wifi https://www.cnx-software.com/2026/01/07/espressif-systems-showcases-esp32-e22-wi-fi-6e-soc-and-esp32-h21-ble-mcu-for-battery-powered-devices/ it would make for...

    it's not if that helps paul, and not my intention either. here is a way to prove it, when there is a shipping product, if that even happens, i will not be posting about it here, if i do - totally agree that you should remove the posts and/or me.

    thank you @CollinK that is fair and thoughtful, and i appreciate it. for parents with a newborn, there is a lot of overnight downtime between things. it fits my schedule well. i genuinely enjoyed the technical discussions, the benchmarks, and hearing what people want in current and future...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    the “what does the baby have to do with this” comment is unnecessary. mentioning real life context is not an appeal for sympathy, it’s transparency about how and when work gets done. you can ignore it if you want, but taking a swipe at it adds nothing technical and shows you are coming to this...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    mark, paul decides which discussions are “allowed”. he has made his position clear. i am operating within it. this thread exists because a huge change in teensy’s distribution and it directly affects users and developers here. that makes it on-topic. disagreeing with the discussion does not...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    cool - thanks for adding this paul, because i can now put the details you left out. routing boards through a third party is not a solution. it’s what someone proposes when they’re being pressured and trying to help without confronting the underlying issue. it shifts risk, creates opacity, and...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    to be super duper clear again, “freensy” is not a finalized product name. it’s a working label, shorthand, nothing more. we have not announced a final name, and the naming will be handled carefully, especially given the history around “duino”-style naming, etc. we had to get permission from...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    paul, you know from all of our interactions that i will follow your forum rules. if the situation were reversed, you would be allowed to post on the adafruit forums, just like anyone else. our team would allow it. limor makes the final call there, just as you do here, i am saying it would be...

    commercial audio sampling/fx product with rp2350

    a bunch of folks have told us there’s “no way” the rp2350 can do the kinds of audio projects people associate with imx chipsets. cool story. meanwhile, today we ran into a brand-new product from teenage engineering, who tend to ship first and argue later. the ep-2350 standalone handheld mic...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    yes, i see the brand-new accounts that paul is now allowing whose sole purpose is to “dunk on me.” that pattern is obvious, and it’s familiar. historically, a lot of this behavior targeted limor directly. now it’s sliding over to me because i hold a mirror up to it and i push back. limor is...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    the person of course fails to mention we have been moving to kicad, it takes time, we have over 800 open-source hardware certifications, we donate and support kicad, i totally get that there are new people here that are only here to dunk on me, that's fine - and there are some folks that have...

    rp2350 dual-core coremark results: first numbers are in hey folks, just got back from our two-month pediatrician visit and, in between bottles and naps, we had claude code update the coremark repo to support the rp2350 running dual-core, multi-threaded. results look solid. for reference, a...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    hello, nameless sparkfun representative. since you’re replying publicly, let’s be specific. this is about teensy and sparkfun’s role as the exclusive manufacturer and seller of that product. for anyone still reading: in july, we told sparkfun they needed to get their house in order. for years...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    you know the ESP-P4 might be a really good option for you because it has MIPI/DSI display support and support for up to 64MB of PSRAM. much more graphics optimized!

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    “teensy-compatible” does not mean “same chip” or “binary-compatible bootloader.” it never has. by that definition, teensy 2.x, 3.x, and 4.x were already wildly different from each other. different cores, different architectures, different toolchains given that, we are expanding the ecosystem of...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    that is great to know! thanks for that info - what do you need 1 ghz for? like what microcontroller tasks require it that are not handled by something like pio? please be super specific and point to github examples, or detail it here. based on history, when sparkfun is the sole maker of product...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    i will answer it again, this is helpful for our FAQ, keep asking questions folks and feature requests. you would still use arduino ide (or platformio, or cmake, etc), and get all the standard support for i2c/spi/uart/pwm/adc/i2s/usbh plus of course you get dma-driven dithered neopixel driving...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    let me super clear, since paul and sparkfun (secret rules) cannot. we are not aggrieved, paul has closed sourced the bootloader and upload system for teensies, this is a great opportunity to come up with an open source hardware solution. also, its good to not be dependent on one chipset - after...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    thanks tomas for engaging directly and not making assumptions. yes, we are an authorized reseller and have been since the beginning. we were likely the first reseller, and for years we were one of paul’s top channels. i’ve personally helped paul multiple times beyond reselling, including...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    wow, you really do not understand what we are, a reseller of teensy, authorized and all that. but now it's sparkfun's and this is their biz and this is how they do things. adafruit has purchased teensys for years from paul and robin, we are a top reseller. sparkfun is now the exclusive maker...

    open-source teensy-compatible - what features do you want?

    the good news is you will have choices, we do not, we can't sell the teensy because of a secret policty and paul is being bullied by sparkfun, so here we are, put in features you want or need, now is your chance, and it's all open-source ...
