Hello, forgive my ignorance, but I have a pretty basic question about creating my own custom Teensy.
Just as a starter; I've created a great deal of PCBs before. Not an expert, but not totally inexperienced either. I made my own custom functional custom Netduino (http://forums.netduino.com/index.php?/topic/11362-custom-building-a-smaller-netduino-2/) a little while back. In my current project I've got a custom PCB working which has a socket for an original Teensy 3.2. I want to change my PCB to incorporate custom Teensy directly.
Reading on the forums I see that people who make their own custom Teensy's have to get a pre-loaded bootloader chip from Paul to get it working. And that is where my question comes in. Is that absolutely neccesary? The chip is rather expensive, and it'll take time to ship to Norway. I was hoping I would be able to build the custom Teensy without having to reply on a specific "magic" chip from Paul.
Is there any way around this, so that I can create my custom Teensy just using standard parts?
