I have used LPC arm micros in my student project. Now for my next project ( Model Rail )i want to use TMS750LS20216 TI micro. I need suggestions from you peoples.
First one is support from vendor. I mean how much the vendor assist for their product i.e example code, tutorials, technical support team etc.
Second one, is hardware support of the selected device. Is there enough support for these devices form third party vendors? like debuggers/compilers etc.
You may say i should use google??? Yes used it and searched many things but in addition i need your experience about this device and its support.
Thanks in Advance! Have a nice day!
"Does that really require a processor specifically designed for safety-critical systems?"
It does, if the intention is to learn, using a model railway, how to create safety-critical systems. Few schools/companies can afford to have their own private full-scale railroad infrastructure just for teaching or for testing new designs ;)
