- Serial Flash Memory - W25Q32FV (32Mb, 104MHz, SOIC-8)
The W25Q32FV (32M-bit) Serial Flash memory provides a storage solution for systems with limited space, pins, and power. This small SMD IC series offers flexibility and performance well beyond ordinary Serial Flash devices. They are ideal for code shadowing to RAM, executing code directly from Dual/Quad SPI (XIP) and storing voice, text and data.
The W25Q32FV operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V power supply with current consumption as low as 4mA active and 1µA for power-down. We recommend using this IC with the SparkFun Qwiic Micro to expand its memory capabilities.

Core Skill: Soldering
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Competent - You will encounter surface mount components and basic SMD soldering techniques are required.

Core Skill: Programming
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Competent - You will be required to reference a datasheet or schematic to know how to use a component. Your knowledge of a datasheet will only require basic features like power requirements, pinouts, or communications type. Also, you may need a power supply that?s greater than 12V or more than 1A worth of current.

Can someone please explain to me what "code shadowing to RAM" means.
Anyone???
"Code Shadowing" is the practice of copying code from Non-volatile memory (ROM) to external Volatile Memory (RAM) and then execute said code directly from it (via XIP or Execute-In-Place). The why one would do this boils down to RAM reading data faster, having far more space and being able to even alter the data in memory.
Can this also be used with the Teensy Audio Board?
Yes you can! The W25Q RAM series was what the Teensy Audio Board's mem footprint was added for and what they suggest to use with the board.
Though you may want to check if 32 megabit is enough space for your project as they use the bigger 128 megabit version in their examples. very roughly speaking: At 48khz-16bit this chip could hold 40 seconds of single-channel audio. (20 if dual)
