Hello, I am building a drawing robot/pen plotter machine. Currently I’m using a stm32 mucleo board with a f746gz processor but I’m looking to use a different processor because it has things that I don’t need, like etherne, and lacks things that would be nice, like reasonable example programs to look at... or mooooaaar memoriez.
After looking at adafruits offerings I feel a bit overwhelmed, maybe you can suggest a suitable dev board / thingy if I just list some requirements?
* Accessible documentation and Linux tools
* Good support for Zephyr or FreeRTOS
* On-chip can controller
* Floating point unit
* A oled screen interface would be nice.
* Not too slow, ~100 MHz is fine
My main priority is to find something that is pleasant to work with because don’t we all like pleasant things?
Cheers

Re: Help me pick a mcu
The SAMD51 in our M4 boards knows how to use CAN, and we have this one with a built-in CAN transceiver:

Both Zephyr and FreeRTOS work with the SAMD51, and they specifically mention some of our boards. The SAMD51 has 512k of program memory and a 120MHz clock.
