The part I am considering is the RM42L432, which should meet our connectivity and processing power requirements. I have a few questions though before I start redesigning this board.
- What kind of life cycle is expected for these parts? I imagine safety rated chips have longer than normal life cycles, but I’d like to know what TI plans for them.
- What kind of development tools are needed for the SIL3 rating on these chips (IDE, compiler, etc)? Are any particular programmers needed for the Hercules line?
