MicroMod Teensy brings Teensy 4.0 board to M.2 form factor

Teensy 4.0, a low-cost board based on NXP i.MX RT1062 Arm Cortex-M7 crossover processor, is now getting a little brother with MicroMod Teensy following the same M.2 form factor as other Sparkfun MicroMod boards.

Born from a collaboration between PJRC and Sparkfun, MicroMod Teensy has essentially the specs of Teensy 4.0 but with larger flash memory, and the board will be fully supported by the Teensyduino add-on to the Arduino IDE as noted by Paul Stoffregen on Twitter.

It would not exactly be convenient to use MicroMod modules standalone, so the tiny boards are designed to be plugged into MicroMod carrier boards that provide access to I/Os, USB ports, a display, a camera, sensors, microphones, a MicroSD card socket for data logging, and more.

MicroMod Teensy has been designed in EAGLE, and the project is open-source with hardware files and documentation released on Github. You can also learn how to get started on the Sparkfun Learn website.
