hello !
i am houssam an electrical engineering student, i am new to this forum and new for ARM processore i want to make my own PLC (programable logic controler), and i need a processore for to build this PLC, i find a lot of type of ARM processore (cortex r,m,a...) i dont know which processore that i should use for this application could you help with the type of the ARM and some books or tutorial that i should see.
thank you, and sorry for my english, it's ot my mother thong.
Hi Houssam,
Building a complete PLC is a huge and difficult task even just for a school project (I just assumed although you did not specifically stated it's for one of your electrical engineering subjects), especially if you only have a limited time to work for it. ARM7, Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex-M are used in PLC subsystems. Which version would you use depends on your exact goal. Of course ARM7 is an older core and it's not recommended for this project unless (or even if) you already have the development board.
These books are excellent references if you will choose the Cortex-M profile,
