#159588 - Again, what is your goal? Responding to: ???'s previous message |

I would like to take a peek at other architectures than 8051 or PIC. As Per has already asked, what is your goal in this? Are you just looking to broaden your horizons, or do you have some specific area in which you find the 8051 and/or PIC deficient? Has anybody some experience and comments about ST or Freescale lines of 8/16/32-bit micros ? Unless you have some specific requirement, an ARM has got to be the one to go for. ST have ARM9, ARM7, and Cortex-M3 But if you want a really cheap introduction to Cortex-M3 with everything in the box, I'd look at the Luminary Micro kits: http://www.luminarymicro.com/products/kits.html You get a board complete with JTAG debug adaptor and an evaluation toolchain. The free Code Red tools give you no code size limits, but are locked to the devkit (a full paid-for licence removes that restriction). Although you can get cheap boards for the STM32; eg: http://www.olimex.com/dev/stm32-h103.html http://www.olimex.com/dev/stm32-p103.html you then have to scrabble about to find your own JTAG adaptor, your own toolchain, and work out how to fit them all together. |
