Fred 453 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I guess it'll be a while until someone like TI manufacturers one and sticks it on a Launchpad, but ARM have announced the M7 which will be above the M4 in the microcontroller range. http://arm.com/products/processors/cortex-m/cortex-m7-processor.php Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GrumpyOldPizza 15 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Kind of interesting. I had assumed from previous notes that it's basically a R7 with NVIC bolted on. But it has a 6 stage pipeline instead. The nice thing is that it has IEEE754 DOUBLES (yeah !). Not sure who will put this on a SOC. It's got a 64-bit AMBA AXI interconnect, which you had to use for hooking up FLASH & SRAM and DMA. It's assume this would mean a lot more gates than a AHB-Lite setup ... - Thomas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixSixSevenSeven 23 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 time for a tm7c product family and accompanying launchpad in my opinion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 yup, with optional integrated MAC+PHY or CC3100-style WiFi network processor ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bingo600 0 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Afaik ST is doing a M7 /Bingo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SixSixSevenSeven 23 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 yup, with optional integrated MAC+PHY or CC3100-style WiFi network processor ;-) As long as the M7 launchpad has battery backing for the hibernation module, oh its got to be a model with a full blown calendar like the tm4c129.
