Hello Peter,
just my two cents regarding eTPU: NXP has more or less left the PowerPC
architecture and favor ARM for automotive applications.
But the MPC5xxx controllers were developed in some sort of cooperation
with ST microelectronics. And ST is still actively playing with this
family. E.g. the SPC564 is still equipped with the eTPU. So the legend
lives on ;-)
indeed, but even ST Micro probably plans to migrate their customers
slowly to their brand new ARM-based chips for automotive: Stellar 32-bit
Automotive MCUs [1]. Although I must add that "Longetivity" is extended
to 20 years for your mentioned SPC56x, whatever that means exactly...
Anyway, I'm afraid, sun is setting on PPC even in automotive business...
Cheers,
Karel
