Yes, but from what I remember it was canceled because the amount of periphery on the chip is poor. I also looked at ARM, but while there is more choice there, it is fragmented over multiple vendors, with multiple toolchains (if a free one exists at all) PIC32 is only interesting because it is slightly faster and has more mem. But that would be more a future proofing thing, since we don't really lack it atm. But motorcontrol parts (integrated quadrature encoder, preferably several) is absolutely mandatory. > They use GCC, although commercial compilers are also available should > you need it. I have used GCC-AVR for years without problems. So does 16-bit microchip, and I'm using it for 2 years in production now. The 8-bit embedded ethernet part (even PHY!) is the only exception, and functions at the same time (same print) as spare part for stuff older than 2 years, so we can't get rid of it anyway and is quite cheap. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
