Rei Vilo 695 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 A new MCU based on the ARM Cortex-M7? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I looked back at our previous MSP432 sleuthing thread as I know we thought it might be Cortex M4F M0 or M0+ at one point.I've hardly had a chance to play with the MSP432 yet, so I'm happy to wait and see. There is a MSP432 webinar on June 10th but no clues there that I could see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 @rocket4kids Sorry - just me getting things back to front. The existing MSP432 is M4F. We thought it might be M0 or M0+ at one point. I'll correct my post above. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 @L.R.A C'mon. You know you won't be able to stay quiet until the 10th! You might as well spill the beans now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fred 453 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 So.. if it links in to this post then that would imply a TMS570LC4357-based LaunchPad. http://forum.43oh.com/topic/8412-new-hercules-lps-in-bound/ LaunchPads sometimes seem to follow along from the more expensive DKs and there is already a DK for the LC4357, so it wouldn't be a leap to imagine a LaunchPad version of this: http://www.ti.com/tool/tmdx570lc43hdk spirilis 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 So.. if it links in to this post then that would imply a TMS570LC4357-based LaunchPad. http://forum.43oh.com/topic/8412-new-hercules-lps-in-bound I started that post and have never said LC4357 would be the target. It wouldn't make sense, at least to me, that they would put a BGA chip on an LP. I mean, LP's are "friendly" and "inexpensive". The LQP144 package on the TMS57012 LaunchPad brought just about everything out to two 40 pin BP headers and what didn't make it to those was put out on the 100 pads on the edges of the board. LC4357 is 337NFBGA ... more than 2x the interconnects. I wonder how that works out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fred 453 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 @@abecedarian You never said LC4357, @L.R.A did. You just mentioned a new Hurcules LaunchPad. I put 2 and 2 together and made a few assumptions (which may well be wrong)! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abecedarian 330 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 @@Fred - Sorry if I came across terse or similar. I wouldn't be surprised if it were based around the 4357, but like I mentioned it'd be an odd choice for a LaunchPad given its footprint. On the other hand, as the only R5F chip in the lineup it makes sense to show it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spirilis 1,265 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yeah probably an 80 pin LP with a side header (ala TM4C129 connected LP) sporting about 200 other non-standardized pins ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
