I am looking into the H8S (renesas) micros since I understand I am to make use of these devices in a new role. I have previously used the H8 but this was on legacy systems or at least legacy controls within new systems but I am struggling to see what the key points are of this range. The H8S is the quicker end of the renesas product line, but still a little sluggish compared to say arm core devices , some nice peripherals... is there a H8S fan out there that can tell me what I am missing? I am not dissin' the range I am just trawling through the garbage that the marketing folk publish but havent yet come accross its real strenghts - why is this so popular ?
also is bdm available ?
what tools are available and which are the stronger ?
thanks in advance for any thought you care to publish.
