I am looking to move my current project which is based on a PIC32 and MAX32 board to a Teensy 3.6 or 4.0 platform. The MAX32 is programmed in C (so not Arduino) using Mikro C Pro IDE, the display is 5" and the plan is to move to 7" SPI TFT with much faster screen updating. I have done some initial tests with a Teensy 3.6 + RA8875 7" display and using Sumotoy's lib and updated by KurtE, this looks a good way forward.
As my code size is around 8,000 lines Teensy 4.0 would be more suitable with its larger memory, is Teensy 4.0 supported by Sumotoy’s lib and would screen updating be any faster compared to Teensy 3.6?
I have setup Visual Studio with Vmicro Arduino plugin and while this works OK the compile time for simple code examples is very long, even compared to the Arduino IDE. Mikro C Pro compiles my 8,000 lines of code in around 3-4 seconds, both Arduino and Visual Studio even for simple code examples take significantly longer. It would be interesting to know which IDE’s are more suitable for larger code based projects and what typical compile times are to be expected for these IDE’s? I will most likely have to stay with an IDE which supports an Arduino plug-in to make use of Sumotoys lib.
My last question relates to uploading code to a Teensy board, is it possible to connect an external ARM programmer and are the programming pins broken out to allow this? If not, is the Teensy Loader Application supported in command line mode to run in a .bat file to load a hex file and then upload to the Teensy board?
