What is the 3rd player right now? AFAIK it's PIC or Atmel. I guess there are the various ARM boards but those tend to be more powerful than little 8 bit things

- icegreentea 11y agoTI still makes MSP430s.
- duskwuff 11y agoAs well as a variety of ARM microcontrollers, including the confusingly named MSP432: http://www.ti.com/tool/MSP-EXP432P401R http://www.ti.com/tool/MSP-EXP432P401R
- hkmurakami 11y agoTexas Instruments maybe?
- nickpsecurity 11y agoIt's in the article...
- quanticle 11y agoST Microelectronics has a line of microcontrollers that are (largely) compatible with the Atmel AVR instruction set.

- onnoonno 11y agoNever heard of those. Do you have a link?
- quanticle 11y agohttp://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/LN1847?sc=stm32nucleo http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM116/SC959/SS1532/LN184... They advertise Arduino compatibility, so I'm assuming that means compatibility with the AVR instruction set, but I could be wrong about that.
- onnoonno 11y agoThank you. But that's just Arduino, i.e. high level compatibility. You have a setup() and a loop() and the same way to do I/O, but not the same underlying instruction set. The chips on these guys are regular ARM cortex uCs. They might be just barely fast enough to do real-time emulation of the AVR INSNs though ;)
- jason_s 11y agoRenesas is a huge microcontroller supplier that no one ever hears about for some reason. Other major competitors are NXP/Freescale, ST, TI, and Infineon.
- nickpsecurity 11y agoI literally just posted that and deleted it in a comment. It had something else that was inaccurate. I was about to repost it just saying Renesas had SOC's, SuperH chips, and their on fab then saw you comment. :)
