Hello everyone,
I would like to know why you are using Cortex-M microcontroller.
Why don't you adopt other microcontrollers such as 8-bit, 16-bit or MIPS or x86?
The background is that I plan to write a special article regarding Cortex-M on the Interface which is the monthly magazine of Japan published by CQ publishing. However, I cannot say why Cortex-M should be featured because Cortex-M is already famous and almost common sense of microcontrollers. I would like to get exclusive (or special) meanings to introduce Cortex-M nowadays. Please let me know the significance of Cortex-M.
Thank you and best regards,
Yasuhiko Koumoto.
Thank you for letting me know this.
I have no doubt that speeds will still increase (even for the Cortex-M3).
The S7 specifications really look good, especially the 640KB SRAM and dual Ethernet.
It does look like different packages are available: LQFP 100/144/176, BGA 176/224, LGA 145, so I think they will be available in stand-alone form at some point.
