Dip package ARM, been waiting for this for 5 years. Finally here!

DIP will be cool.

Breadboard ARM :slight_smile:

5

I hope the price will be right.

Digikey sells the existing packages at $2-$3, so these should be about the same.

They show up as “Development” in product status. How long does it usually take NXP to move from “Development” to “Production”. If anybody knows.

EDIT: Never mind. Found the answer in the press release:

Yeah and some users asked why we used cortex-m0 on daisylink, now you know. ARM si the way to go.Plus we have the tools.

Woah … that is a lot of CPU to drive one LED. However, like you said you had the tools and they aren’t expensive …

You have 1Ghz processor in your pocket just to make phone calls :slight_smile: Why not? They are cheap and low power.
