Last time I peeked, that one wasn't supported by the GNU toolchain, so alternatives like Atmels' AVR family, or the MSP430, are perhaps a bit more "linux friendly". The AVRs do 16 or 20 MIPS, and have multiple PWM channels, plus (mostly) bunches of ADC channels. Oh, and they cost next to nothing. :-) Erik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
