Support for 32 bit atmel ? |

Does someone knows some c compiler where i can use 32 bit MCU.
I have searched thru the net but michrochip has no 32 bit MCU.
All i can find was : ATMEL, Renesas etc..
Does CCS have support for 32 bit Atmel ? |

I suspect the Atmel is and ARM7 device. Try searching for that. |

No. It's not an ARM device. |

Quote: | Does CCS have support for 32 bit Atmel ? | No, CCS only supports Microchip processors.

For low power applications the ARM based processors are very well known but there are many other architectures like MIPS, Renesas H8 and Freescale with 68k and PowerPC.
Atmel has some processors based on the ARM7 architecture and introduced the new AVR32 series early this year. Whichever processor you want to have a compiler for, have a look at the manufacturer's website for references to development tools. For many processors, including ARM, you can get the free open source GCC compiler. |

I will use Renesas H8 and i find some GNU compilers. Is there any support for such programming (32 bit ) ? |

As you have been told already, if it is not Microchip Technology PIC series microcontroller then CCS doesn't have a compiler for it. Just freaking look at the website:
http://www.ccsinfo.com/content.php?page=compilers
If you want 32bit microcontroller, then go with an LPC series from Philips.
If an 8bit will work then use a PIC with CCS compiler or wait until their next major release and they will support the 16bit PICs.
PS: Its hard to beat the price of those LPC's ![Smile](images/smiles/icon_smile.gif) |

Why do you need 32 bit? Is this some edict from the gods of Marketing? _________________ The search for better is endless. Instead simply find very good and get the job done. |

I hope he meant H8SX. H8's aren't 32bit. He had better check the price as well. |

Or on the basis of ease of development, just use an embedded PC. For many applications, where quantities are small the cost of a prebuilt embedded PC, is warranted, and the development costs are about the lowest of anything. You can use a Linux core. For larger quantities, a 'core of a PC on a chip' solution, like the M6117D, may still be the easiest route.
