the 32-bit version of the PIC mcu,
There is no hope for PIC32.
Everything was done using the STM's libraries and i didn't had a single problem.
I have no problem with the ST libraries (i2c being the exception) as well.
I tried the NXP's LPC1769 with LPCXpresso, but the absence of proper libraries made the experience much more unpleasant
It is not that difficult to code those chips, even without a library. LPCOpen is a different story. The library distributed with CoIDE is robust.
Looks like there is more information for the PIC32MZ than the last time I checked. I wouldn't say that PIC32 is a dead architecture. I actually think it is really decent, not because of the core, but because the peripherals microcip adds to its MCU.
Look at the smallest MZ datasheet. 4 SPI, 6 UART (25 megabit) USB and ethernet in a LQFP64 package, and a 32 bit core running at 200 Mhz. SQI memory interface. I think it is impressive. I'm actually looking forward to try these. Thank for reminding.
According to farnell, they will be at stock in mid October.
