mmm maybe I'll show it......yes maybe. got to get other work out of the 
way Hopefully I will have my pick and place machine online by then.....

F7 is also much more complex in the memory department if you want to get 
the best out of it.
many different paths between the memories and the processor. many 
different memories on board...

You can run it in 'basic mode' and still get reasonable improvement for 
"general purpose code' in performance over F4. Dual issue micro and deep 
pipeline seems to reap benefits, and power consumption very reasonable.

But... !

I would only recommend the upgrade if have your wits about you.... It's 
also a fair extra $.


If you are not already using the CMSIS optimised DSP libraries, then you 
might get 2:1 on your existing DSP code, also without going to M7 just 
by using the optimized libs.

cheers

Mobile security can be enabling, not merely restricting. Employees who
bring their own devices (BYOD) to work are irked by the imposition of MDM
restrictions. Mobile Device Manager Plus allows you to control only the
apps on BYO-devices by containerizing them, leaving personal data untouched!
