It's not totaly about PIC32, but is making MPLAB and all the tools multiplatform includes pickit3 support in linux as well?
Yes MPLAB X IDE supports all of the main tools on all platforms (i.e. PICKit3, ICD3 and RealICE) all work on PC/Windows, Linux and MACs
I know, that power consumption is complex question, but can I ask for more concrete numbers or percents for PIC32 in constract to the other families, because it's quite hard to find data about this in most of the datasheets and appnotes?
I like the fact that it supports all devices and the fact that it's free is a bonus ![]()
Thanks Darren, it's a really great news and thanks again for the webinar ![]()
the mx1 and mx2 run have typical run currents of 18-20mA at 40Mips.
sleep current is typically 44uA at room temp
I am programming 8-bit microcontrollers and 32 bit DSPs and I would like to try something between, from a performance view. I´m sorry, but have to say, I wanted to try microcontrollers with ARM core. So my, maybe unpleasant, question is, have PIC some benefits due to ARM architecture??
I have to say, that pin mapping looks like a great option ![]()
they're faster.... ![]()
But seriously, it depends on what your application needs. If you want the scalability from 8-32bits and you also don't want to pay a lot of money for software libraries then PIC is well worth looking at.
OK, faster and good software support, seems good
Nice presentation, Thanks.
6:53 PM ntewinkel: Thanks for the presentation, Darren!
6:54 PM ntewinkel: I like what I'm seeing with the MPLAB ide.
6:56 PM ntewinkel: So I do have a question... I see that a lot of libraries are available for the PIC32 - are those available in ROM on the chip, or will they be using flash when you use them?
6:58 PM DarrenWenn: You will be using Flash
6:59 PM ntewinkel: ok. thanks. thankfully there's lots of flash available too ![]()
7:00 PM DarrenWenn: For reference the footprint of most Microchip software libraries is quite small. For instance a full TCPIP satck (email, webserver, base libraries etc) can run in about 120k... USB host takes 40-60k
7:01 PM DarrenWenn: I have demo software that incorporates TCPIP+USB host+Graphics +Audio that only takes up 360k on a PIC32
Yeah, I'm liking how MPLAB is developing too
the 8.x version was a little outdates compared to modern IDEs, but the X version is a big improvement, thanks guys
