Please add support for imxrt1052 board. EC500

[ashokmanker]

Please add support for iMXrt1052 board. Perticularly EC500 which is freely available on net. Has plenty of i/o and spindle support alongwith regular MPG pendant support. It will be great board for CNC with GRBLHAL. Persons who are unhappy with mach3 or difficult to configure LinuxCNC can easily migrate to grblhal. For starting you can have reference to remora linuxcnc git for pin layout and configuration.

Do you think they will provide a controller and pay me for adding it?

[ashokmanker]

No, they will not provide any controller and they will pay nothing to anyone.
Can you guide me to getting started? Since you have repo of imxrt1062. I might try to port it to imxrt1052. At least I can try.

[terjeio]

The iMXRT1062 driver is based on the Arduino framework (Teensy) so you may have to port that as well?
Better/easier to switch to Atmels own?
Without doing some research I do not know what is your best option.
