Hi all
I have to redesign a telematics unit in the not so distant future and the TMS470R1Axx seems like a decent choice (I need the 2 CAN ports amongst other things).
I'm specifically looking at
I like the fact there's a full toolchain (GNUARM) and even a free RTOS(and yes, if we use it, we'll probably go for commercial support) apart from the fact I already have a pretty high end JTAG debugger for ARM.
That said, I wondered what experience others have had with this family of devices. There have been comments about the TI docs (and I've had my share of digging on those) and any pointers here would be greatly appreciated. I already scanned through the primary datasheet and found I need to study multiple documents for each module, which is not a major issue provided they together fully document the beast :)
Cross-posted to c.a.e and s.e.d. as I'm interested in any comments anyone might have about this series.
Cheers
