Does anybody know if CCS support is planned for DSPIC33AK series?
Thanks

Looks like a pretty straightforward chip. I personally don't
see anything that might give CCS pause to support it.
Likely they just haven't gotten around to it yet or they
are working on it now.

The simple answer here, is ask CCS.
I'd suspect it'll come in a while, but there are quite a few peripheral changes,
and new features, so a lot of coding needed before these can be offered.
Features like these always take the longest' to code, |

It´s far from straightforward. Instead of fixed 24 bit instructions it has a mixed set of 32 and 16 bits instructions. Working registers have been extended from 16 to 32 bits. It has floating point support.
Only thing to facilitate is that the new instruction set follows the old 24 bit one.
Just sent an email to CCS asking them about it.

Yes, exactly.
It could be 'run' with the standard code support, but taking advantage of
the extensions to the instruction set, and the peripherals will be quite a
lot of work.
It will be a powerful chip when it is supported. |

| Just received an anwer from CCS. They plan to support it but beacause of the different instruction set it will take several months. |
