Teensyduino Tutorial #1: Software Setup for Teensy on Arduino IDE
Press the pushbutton on Teensy. This puts Teensy into programming mode. The orange LED should stop blinking, because Teensy is no longer running the user program. The red LED (upper left corner near USB connector) should turn on to indicate programming mode.

Getting Started with the Teensy - SparkFun Learn
To start working with the Teensy, all you need to do is plug in your USB cable to your computer and your Teensy board. There are two options for programming the Teensy boards - the Arduino IDE or your favorite C compiler.

"Level Up" From Teensy
As a next step i could see STM32 or (people might disagree with me on this) nRF. You could also first branch into low-level driver development in C on your existing boards. The STM-Part: -The basic b*tch Arm Cortex-M architecture is widely used Everything from small&low-cost to multicore and wireless +Inexpensive and available Development-boards +Free IDE, inexpensive, sometimes included Debugger +Big (in no way perfect, but extensive) Driver support +nicely documented and active support forum -not so nice for wireless (except ofc with external modules) -kind of expensive in low quantities in ic-form You could start in the STM-cubeIDE and when you get comfortable you could lear about the Build-process (gcc, make and similar) and make the switch to CubeMX + Vscode/eclipse/sublime (whatever you prefer, i like VSCode). Learning about these processes somewhat makes you plattform independent and that is imo a valuable step. The nRF-Part: -Wireless Also Arm cortex-M +Great for BLE, Zigbee, theead +Widely used in consumer orientated industry Programming far away from the underlying hardware (Zephyr RTOS) +nicely documented and active support forum +also extensive driver support +also small and inexpensive Dev-boards (dongle - 10bucks) -debugger is supposed to be generic SWD, i have not managed to get it to work with anything except jlink... Has a bootloader tho and some dev-board include an ebedded J-link -less variety then STM Basically: this if you want to go into Wireless stuff The low-level driver C: (i assume you ment that by "assembly") There is quite a big Chance you will need to get into direct-register-access or Datasheet-near programming sooner or later when continuing on this "path of Leveling-Up". Might aswell get it over with on an Architecture you are familiar with. No one (that i know) writes in assembly (Except for startup-code), you can do direct bit and register manipulations in C, no problem. You could for example write a driver for the I2C controller or an external i2c device. This has no real advantage to using existing ones, but for an exercise/learning its great. Sorry for spelling in advance (non native), and keep in mind: to you this is just an opinion of a random dude on the internet, this might not be your optimal way and you do what you want Edit:spacings, +1Pt to nRF More on reddit.com

how to program teensy?
You flash them much the same way you'd flash any arduino, there's plenty arduino tutorials around. IIRC teensy comes with a bootloader, which makes things simpler (you don't need a dedicated programmer), the QMK documentation has ample info on how to do that. Speaking of QMK, it's the firmware you probably want to use, the popular teensy variant for QMK is 2.0, others have other processors which changes how you flash them (to some extend). Anything that says "Teensy 2.0 compatible" (they like to use that term) should do the job. More on reddit.com

STM32Duino is merely a wrapper library around STM32's HAL/LL API. The primary reason was the ease of porting over our Teensy code and continuing our Platform.IO setup.
