@DrAzzy - just a couple of pullup/pulldown resistors and an assortment of bypass capacitors. It also needs its 3.3V from somewhere and 0/1/2 clock sources depending on your needs. It seems quite resilient to things like missing capacitors and voltage range, but I've been reading up about bypass capacitors and grounding and it looks like there's plenty of other reasons for getting the capacitors right, it's not about getting the MCU to run.
I'm running Espruino. Because the chip is so close to another board (the pico) it was quite easy to add a board file and an entry into the makefile. I'm still blown away by how easy it is to go from blank chip to javascript console! It's going to be great being able to telnet into sensora and just reprogram them on the fly!
