Hi,
I want to port an exisitng C++ code from windows into a microcontroller to carry out real-time processing. I guess the problems are the processing speed and size of code. I guess I can resolve the code size by using external memory to store the code but processing speed might be an issue. What other factors would I have to consider when selecting a microcontroller for my project? I would have other device connected to the microcontroller; an ADC, network chip. Should I consider a CPLD for the real-time processing and microcontroller as a controller.
The cost is a main factor for my project. I would like to get the cost down to $100 dollars. I am also considering the Maxim Tini chip as it has a built-in ethernet. Any guidance will be very useful.
Cheers Paul
