Hi,
thought this might be interesting for those that are using ARM in MCU
related applications. They are continuing to upgrade their cores and
making it more difficult to not use ARM :-)

Saw it here while browsing.

This is an interesting part Cortex M3 plus a mac and a few other
goodies. Opens doors for industrial controllers.

Hi Ulf,

did not know that the AVR32 offers HW floating point or was that a
misunderstanding of your post "Has the same thing..."
OK, the floating point was mentioned in the link, not in the posts so
it was probably an honest mistake.

SW floating point? We tend to use the PowerPC/SHARC families because
of HW floating point requirements in most of products, SW emulated FP
is too slow. Cortex M4 sounds like a new choice for us, to look into
anyway.
