How do I go about picking an architecture ? My first thoughts suggested Cortex M3 but the more I look into it the less sure I am.
Obviously I don't to go to the trouble of learning a new technology only to find that I've made a bad processor choice (ie nearly end of line). I've spent many hours looking at many websites and have yet to find any high-level stuff on choosing my first ARM device.
If there's one thing wrong with ARM its the almost infinite number of devices
I'm an embedded developer wanting to undertake my first ARM project, so I'm completely new to the ARM architecture. I want a low power device with serial, USB and some ADC channels.
With the source code (and most licenses), you can correct bugs without need to wait for a new official release, and without worrying about the supplier vanishing. A ticket machine was violating the J1708 protocol and created many errors on the bus. When the manufacturer was approached they, of course, replied "no such thing". After being shown proof they stated "this will be fixed in the next release out in October next year (my emphasis).
