This is an interesting part Cortex M3 plus a mac and a few other goodies. Opens doors for industrial controllers.

Hi Ulf,

did not know that the AVR32 offers HW floating point or was that a misunderstanding of your post "Has the same thing..." OK, the floating point was mentioned in the link, not in the posts so it was probably an honest mistake.

An Schwob

Yes, I have some customers doing motor control, that are throwing out the STM32 in favour of the AVR32 with floating point.

SW floating point? We tend to use the PowerPC/SHARC families because of HW floating point requirements in most of products, SW emulated FP is too slow. Cortex M4 sounds like a new choice for us, to look into anyway.
