Teensy 3.x Compiler?

[nate]

I'm a huge fan of the Teensy/Teensy++ 2.0 (developing with C) and am eager to work with the Teensy 3.x but I'm confused about the compiler toolchains. -- I've been studying the product pages but haven't been able to figure out the suggested toolchains.

For Teensy 3.X, the only toolchain is in the Teensyduino installer.

Run the installer. You don't have to ever use Arduino, but I recommend at least using Arduino to upload the LED blink and make sure everything works.

Inside hardware/teensy/cores/teensy3 is a sample makefile. See the comments regarding the toolchain directory. You can delete the rest of Arduino.

Sometime next year I'm going to make a C-only download without Arduino. Until then, you have to get it by installing into Arduino and then grab the parts you want.

Would be nice to have a C download with a sample makefile to get people started. Also, some code samples on how to manipulate ports, timers and UART / SPI would be nice.

I'm planning to make an SD Music Player with an HifyBerry DAC+ Pro which has an I2S interface. For that I require a Teensy 3 (which has I2S on board). I'm currently still using Teensy 2 (AVR), but more and more boards are requiring 3.3V, so I'm gonna have to switch sometime in the future.

To be clear, you have that, there is a sample makefile in the Teensy core:

You can also download the latest ARM gcc and use it instead of the one included with Teensyduino:

I use hand coded makefiles or cmake for all of my projects. They all have unique requirements and I need to be able to lock down the Teensy configuration (processor, CPU speed, F_BUS) and modify some of the "core" libraries, like hardware serial, to use larger buffers. Using makefiles lets me keep those changes project specific and then also keep a clean Arduino/Teensyduino install for developing libraries, tutorials, or doing quick prototyping.

The standard Teensy cores will require C++, but I've managed to create a C only version as well (with a lot of lost functionality - the C only version only supports chip startup, analog read/write, eeprom, hardware serial, and usb serial).

For what purpose?

LOL. Thank you KurtE! That is very good advice.
