Richard , suggest RT family from NXP

While I am a devout STM32 harwdare man, and I pray with JTAG adaptor on my head  16 times per day toward Eindhoven,

price difference for a ham project is significant....

the RT processors are terrific.

RT1020 is a 500 MHz M7  is an LQFP package. needs external $1  (ideally quad) SPI flash. has 256kbytes of TCM (pretty much cacheless memory operation) .

and $5 ... that's my suggestion.

RT1050, 1060 are BGA , 512kbytes (half TCM) and 600 meg and sram. $6

STM32H7  with 2MB SRAM is $19

Hi All,

Understood about the future modes, I was hoping to support 700D (when released) so perhaps switching processor is desirable. My skillset is 90%/10% hardware/software so both a complete rewrite and porting to a totally different platform are out for me. I might take a look at other ST options, several of you have mentioned the F7 and a quick look seems promising. Does anyone with more experience have a specific part number to recommend?

Low cost, whilst nice, isn't really a goal for me, but physical size and power consumption are.

Thanks
Richard

    Hi Don

    I got codec2 working on F7 a few years ago, and I was getting 2x the
    performance than the guys were getting on the F4. for the same clock
    speed...- 2 reasons- 1) the F4 code is completely unoptimized and
    really
    hurts the F4, and 2) the F7 is quite a bit faster if the cache
    access is
    optimal..

    IMO the attempt to keep the code base portable between PC and
    microcontroller is problematic and a limit.

    suggest The ORANGE PI zero is a tiny inch square PCB and has onboard
    audio..... It's what I use.... quad core A7 etc and NEON.

    H7 is th new kid ont he block , but STM32 is expensive !!!

    Suggest Rt1050 series from NXP for low cost (couple of bucks) and 400
    meg F7 perfromance
