FLOWCODE FOR ARM

[ALAN_26]

Hello
I just have some questions about Flowcode for ARM Devices for example
What chips are going to be supported ?
Some ARM devises have integrated Ethernet , and USB ,Multimedia Card Interface, are we going to see components for these Interfaces ?

The initial release of Flowcode for ARM will target the AT91SAM7 series of chips. Hopefully Sean will post the exact list this morning.

We would love to have components for these integrated features, but initially they will not be available - the workload involved is not trivial and we have lots of other plans as well.

However, don't let that put you off the Flowcode for ARM product. These chips are fast and have a large RAM and ROM, which gives you much more power. This version of Flowcode also introduces native floating point calculations which makes the math(s) much easier. We'll have a downloadable demo version this week and a shippable CD within 2 weeks.

We are underway with the development of v4 of Flowcode (for PIC, ARM, AVR and maybe more targets). One of the things we need to do in this next generation is to make it easy for third parties to contribute to the development of Flowcode. We intend to do this by making it easier to develop your own components, FCD files and perhaps even customise the toolchain so that wholly different chip families can be targeted.

The initial list of devices supported by Flowcode for ARM is from the Atmel AT91SAM7 range:

AT91SAM7S16
AT91SAM7S161
AT91SAM7S32
AT91SAM7S321
AT91SAM7S64
AT91SAM7S128
AT91SAM7S256
AT91SAM7S512

Also compatible with:

AT91SAM7SE32
AT91SAM7SE256
AT91SAM7SE512

We have also included a selection option configured for our EB-031 board carrying an AT91SAM7S128.

thank for the info

looking foward for the demo !
