I'm trying to develop a bluetooth interface between my PIC32 board and my computer. I'm new to embedded bluetooth so I'm having some trouble finding good transceivers. I've found one that follows SSP (Serial Port Profile), and I like it very much, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with the PC bluetooth. Could you help me giving me some information about the most common bluetooth profiles...


Does GCC use single-precision FP hardware on Cortex-M4 parts?

Hi - Can anybody tell me for what, if anything, does GCC use the single-precision hardware floating point units on some Cortex-M4 parts? At all? Single-precision float only? Presumably not double? The PIC32MZ EF series parts have hardware double precision; presumably GCC uses this for double? Thanks! Best Regards, Dave

Are there any mainstream 32 bit MCUs other than the MIPS based PIC32MX available in PDIP ? I'm especially interested in ARM architecture MCUs, but any 32 bit architectures are of interest; they don't need to have USB built in. When I was looking for the currently available MCUs with USB device built in, it was a major surprise to discover a 32 bit MIPS MCU range available in PDIP. I h...

[or the day I looked into the face of Hell. :-)] And now for something a little different. :-) What experiences have you had during debugging an embedded system that make you really wonder out loud what the hell was going on ? I've been building a homebrew programmer for the PIC32MX and have hit some major issues due to the really lousy Microchip programming specification. At one po...

Select option -> Generate Code -> Build -> Build fails. Select different option -> Generate Code -> Build -> Build fails. Try yet another option -> Generate Code -> Build -> Build fails. Harmony is a giant framework where you select from hundreds of options (drivers, TCP stack, etc), then generate your application's frame. It favors a monster-loop state machine, at a point where the applica

Not sure how I missed this one for two months. I see there is already some serious contention with Atmel employees. http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1329412 I wonder what it will be like for the sales force to be selling PICs, AVRs and ARMs all into much of the same market space?

Microchip PIC32 MCUs can be used for graphics applications (as I read on their website), but I couldn't understand if they have a real integrated TFT controller (as in LPC MCUs by NXP) or a different thing. I would prefer NXP's versus Microchip's solutions for many reasons: - ubiquitous ARM core (instead of MIPS) - true integrated TFT controller - lower cost (I'm not sure on this) Bot...

Hi. I'm trying to understand the Pic32 (a decade of familiarity with Pic16 and Pic18). I got myself an Ethernet Starter Kit. The demos run, and I have been able to edit them. So I tried to get two stacks working together. I then proceeded merging the TCPIP demo and the USB MSD demo. The latter just looks for a pendrive and when it sees it a simple text file gets written. The TCPIP integ...

I've finally been considering a project to use either a Cortex-M3 or a PIC32 processor and I've a technical question unrelated to any "business issues" between these options -- the divide instruction operation. Both of these cores include one but I'm interested in any remarkable technical details between them, including cycle counts but not limited to that (load-store time is fair game.) ...

Hi all, Mostly a beginner here looking for some advice. I'm trying to create an array comprised of 63 vanilla (T1) single color LEDs connected in one manner or another to a PIC32. Some of the considerations that I'm facing are that: 1. I'd like to avoid resistor arrays if possible. 2. It should be PWM dimmable. 3. It should consume as little power as possible, as it will likely share a 500...
