So, if one were to say, flee at speed from using pic32mx's and switch to an arm core... exactly which arm core? I know they all pretty much contain the same pehiperals (i2c, spi, can, uarts, multiple timers etc).. who has the least bug free libraries with documentation? (under linux).
I dont want any crappy online only compilers etc. online ide or that.
mchip provide a netbeans ide which does debugging nicely. anyone in the arm ecosystem provide a nice eclipse/netbeans based ide under linux that does debugging?
One thing I loved about the pic32mx in dip + soic was I could get a 50mhz chip with 64kb sram and 256kb program flash. most arm cores I see have like 4 or 8kb
Looking on mouser, I see two arm DIP parts, and both NXP chips, one has 4kb program/1kb data, and one has 32kb program/4kb data.
ugh.
Im not seeing anything good on mouser that would meet 256/64 at 50mhz+ in soic or dip.
choosing 64kb sram, mouser is listing LQFP-100 and BGA chips ugh, and all at over $5 in singles...
this switching to arm looks harder than I expected when I cant find a comparable chip.
anyone have any reccomendations?
