Choosing MCU

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP-EXP430F5529LP

I need help with selecting MCU for a new medical device. with our older devices we used 8051 but now we want to use ARM Cortex-M.

 

in general the demands of the product are:

  • 128K FLASH or more for firmware
  • 16K memory or more for dynamic data
  • Interface must include : I2C bus, SPI bus, RS232 Bus, USB. (Optional: Bluetooth or Wifi)
  • GPIO (General Purpose IO)
  • Counter/Timer
  • Watch-dog
  • no need for PWM output
  • The ability to generate Drivers automatically (Optional)
  • Evaluation board
  • Developing tools

 

What is the minimum environment needed to start working asap?

please offer me the best cost effective complete solution (hardware, software, tools and evaluation board) in order to start the development.

 

your help is much appreciated.

 

Regards,

Lior

    Currently, there is no MSP432 device that supports USB.

    There are many MSP430 devices with all of your features, including USB, but the MSP430 does not use an ARM CPU (the MSP430 is a 16-bit CPU that is mostly comparable to the Cortex M0):

    The evaluation board for USB MSP430s would be either the LaunchPad (MSP-EXP430F5529LP) or the older Experimenter’s Board (MSP-EXP430F5529) (please note that the F5529 on these boards has only 8 KB RAM).
