Or the ST or the... Which ever you can find the right peripherals that has a nice dev board and tools. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/\ /\/\/ chris@phaedsys.org www.phaedsys.org \/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Sticking with the ARM core, this today from STm is notable [Not quite a single chip, but almost..] http://www.st.com/stonline/press/news/year2005/p1416h.htm 330MHz and 2MBytes of DRAM, plus smallish FPGA - and the semantics games start about a first with 'embedded FPGA fabric' :) which hinges on if you call it ARM+FPGA or FPGA+ARM. It does seem a better mix of CPU/memory/ProgLogic than earlier offerings. [Seems Xilinx buying Triscend was not enough to prevent ARM+FPGA from hitting the streets..] -jg
