      I am completing a MicroPython board spec comparison...
      started with Free RAM and internal ROM...
      but I've expanded it now :-()

      The Spec sheets for WiPy 2.0 and LoPy are very nice and complete...except for MCU Clock rate (MHz).
      WiPy 1.0 has...
      Processing
      ★Dual processor + WiFi radio SoC.
      ★MCU: Texas Instrument CC3200, Cortex-M4 @ 80MHz

      WiPy 2.0 and LoPy just have...
      Processing
      – Espressif ESP32 chipset
      – Dual processor and WiFi radio system on chip

      What are the MCU Clock rates for the WiPy 2.0 and LoPy ?

        @VitalSparkPlug, the max frequency is 240 MHz. Right now we're clocking it at 160MHz. Hope it helps ;)

          Thanks for the speedy reply.
          Might need to update the Spec Sheet (Frequency is a "Basic" spec :-) )
          Is that for Both WiPy 2.0 and LoPy ?
          Can the Max you mentioned be reached by firmware control of the PLL?

            @VitalSparkPlug, yes, both boards are ticking at 160MHz right now. Right now changing the clock requires a firmware rebuild, but this limitation might be lifted in the future.

              Being more specific, MicroPython release 0.9.6.b1 for LoPy and WiPy 2 has default ESP32 frequency set as 160 MHz, instead of 80 MHz as before.

              My "MicroPython Samples". My "MicroPython Firmwares" with many options (double precision, ulab, etc).
