The pi-pico does have that cute PIO state machine though to baby sit GPIO and get single cycle granularity out of it.

- jjoonathan 4y agoYep, I suspect that will be the path forward. Same high level strategy, but integrated into a single package. It will be interesting to see if the babysitters remain state machines or if they grow into tiny little microcontrollers.
- monocasa 4y agoOr tiny little FPGAs connected to the GPIO lines would be neat too.
- wheelin 4y agoMany automotive MCUs have complexe timer coprocessors integrated for hard real time I/O purpose. Examples are GTM, eTPU and N2HET that I know about. Does the PIO work in the same way?
