Hi guys,
I'm eager to use the M7 in ASILD and SIL3 applications as it offers our developers a more familiar environment and behaviour compared to the R series, amongst a few other preferential attributes. However I'm yet to see any signs of a company integrating this option into an SoC.
Does anyone know of any companies that are planning to release an IC based on the M7 running in lock-step?
Many thanks
Hello alowe,
Basically speaking, as far as a company does not announce, we have no means to know whether it will exist. As of today, no companies had announced such a product. I guess that Cortex-M7 product which has the lock-step feature won't appear as a standard product. It might be possible that it was developed as a custom product for automotive areas. If you would like to really adopt such the product, I recommend you to directly ask a IC company.
Best regards,
Yasuhiko Koumoto.
