Assessment on Freescale Linux IDE & Dev Tools
Like2Learn - 2011-01-06 18:21:00
I am considering Freescale i.MX processor for my project, and I
happenily know the Freescale also supports Linux.
I would like to know what kind of IDE is typically used by developers
of Freescale Linux, CodeWarrior or Eclipse? Does Freescale provide
something similar to WindRiver Workbench?

Freescale (formerly Motorola)
Started by WaldemarIII 9 years ago
I was wondering why there are so few
threads about the Freescale MCUs.
They don't seem to be very popular,
or am I wrong? I'm about to embark
on a small embedded project, based
on a Freescale HC08GB60 (a timer

Anand P. Paralkar - 2010-10-07 07:20:00
Hello Everybody,
Could you please let me know of Freescale (Motorola) microcontrollers
that have three UARTs?
(The parametric search on the Freescale website is really difficult for
this kind of a search.)
Thanks a lot for your help.
Thanks,

Started by Unknown 6 years ago
Hi guys,
I would like to know if the SPI ports are fully
compatible between Freescale and Microchip ?
I understand that SPI has become a "de facto" standard
in the industry. The serial signals goes up to 10 Mbps,
which is enough for my app, and saves data/control buses.
