Thanks a lot for the information. This is a myth for me. I always think Microchip should have chosen ARM Cortex M3 core. > It will be interesting to see what NEC will do with the Renesas 8 bit > parts after the merger is complete.

Renesas's emphasis seems to be push down the 16bit series R8C/H8-300H Tiny to compete the 8-bit market. But NEC 78K may indeed be stronger in the 8-bit market than the Renesas' existing 8-bit solution. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
