At the company I work for, we've replaced all the Atmega chips in our products with the STM32F0 series chips for lower-end requirements and with STM32F4 series for higher end stuff, because they have more grunt and generally have more peripherals, and are similar prices.
- meragrin 11y agoAre there any which are easily used breadboard style project?
- wanderingjew 11y agoNXP's (and now Freescale's) LPC1100 are ARM Cortex M0 processors available in DIP packages. IIRC, NXP is the only one making DIP ARMs, but breakout boards exist....
- hga 11y agoThere are indeed a bunch of them. Here's the ones STM provides: http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532 http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532
- elsjaako 11y agoHow many MCUs have the same strong, libre toolchain?
- nascentmind 11y agoFree GCC tool chains are present for the TI MSP430, TI Tiva Series C (Cortex M4) and also TI Hercules (Cortex M3) series. Apart from that I have tried STM32F4 series with GCC tool chains. I have personally developed Bluetooth stack using the GCC tools for the MSP430 using the CC246x Bluetooth modules and it was a blast. So you have a lot of options with free tool chains. I personally use only free toolchains on linux. It is the best development setup and you have a lot of options for debugging and tool development.
