Probably a dumb question but does/will the Tachyon support the second core on the RP2040 MCU ?
Mecrisp Stellaris currently doesn't and I haven't checked the latest Zeptoforth but my bet would be on the Tachyon to be the first to support it.
I'm still waiting for my Maker Pi Pico to try them for real.

That reminds me, I keep getting sidetracked from implementing Tachyon on the RP2040. I will spend some time tonight on doing a bit more on my macroassembler and testing it on the Tachyon kernel. Just like I do on the multicore P1 & P2, I will have both cores running. I'd also like to be able to treat multiple RP2040s as if they were extra cores so maybe I could tie them together like I did with my ping-pong networking on the P1.

you read my mind!
I love the ping-pong setup.

So, effectively, if successful, that would roughly mean four RP2040 could do much more and faster than a P1 and for half the current price of the P1 (which is outrageous at the moment at 11 USD a piece in singular). That would mark the end of the P1 quite possibly. At least for me.

I am treating a single RP2040 as a replacement for a single P1 although it only has 2 cores it also has PIOs and peripherals that will replace what cogs on the P1 do. So a $1 RP2040 replaces a $11 P1 but has 8 times the RAM and 8 times the speed IMO. The P1 cog can run at 20MIPs but as soon as it accesses hub it slows down. Also the RP2 has analog and many other features including low-power. In fact, I see four RP2s as a replacement for a power hungry P2.
