Most development of CircuitPython is funded by Adafruit. (I'm paid full-time to work on CircuitPython for them. A couple others are paid as well.) That means we focus on adding support for Adafruit boards and many of...
Not much has happened recently. Most focus has been on the ESP32-S2 and RP2040. We (Adafruit) do have a design of a metro with an iMX RT on it so we'll be revisiting iMX RT support when that launches. We'll at least...

I’m thinking about treating the second core more like a pio state machine. Plenty to do before we use the second core.
Each of the 8 PWM slices have two channels for output. They share a divisor so they'll share frequency but have separate compare registers. So, 16 is fair I think.
I've had a couple RP2040s for a month or so and...
