Hello @lyusupov, Eagle eyes, thanks for noticing. Redundant mappings (15, 16) will be removed in the next release.

Thank you!

One more issue to talk about - when 32768 Hz XTAL is not connected to PD0 and PD1 pins -

I found out that the Core relies heavily on the external 32.768 kHz XTAL. It assumes that it is a mandatory hardware component. However, this requirement is not specified in the Limitations section of the Core's README: https://github.com/SiliconLabs/arduino#limitations

The request is:

Is it possible to avoid using of the RTC timer for the purpose of Arduino delay() ... and millis() ... functions in the future releases of the Core ? Arduino Cores for other SoCs typically don't do that.

  • delay() and delayMicroseconds()
  • millis() and micros() are operating approx. 100-110 times slower than they should.

Hi @lyusupov, Thanks for reporting. Please open a new issue for better management.
