2014-01-30 02:29 it's not like programming the cortex-m series 2014-01-30 02:32 uhhh...mx233 no longer manufactured according to freescale which means the price supposed to be cheaper but noooo...it's the same pricing as imx6 ...wth 2014-01-30 02:40 oh, EOL ? crap 2014-01-30 02:40 and no, prices go up then 2014-01-30 02:40 (pgm) it doens't have internal flash, so you need to feed it from the outside. there's usually a ton of options for doing that 2014-01-30 02:49 dos1 has quit [Read error: Operation timed out] 2014-01-30 03:26 DocScrutinizer05 has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds] 2014-01-30 03:27 michael_lee has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 2014-01-30 03:32 DocScrutinizer05 has joined #qi-hardware 2014-01-30 03:42 michael_lee has joined #qi-hardware 2014-01-30 05:32 arielenter has joined #qi-hardware 2014-01-30 05:39 arielenter has quit [Ping timeout: 272 seconds] 2014-01-30 06:08 http://hackaday.com/2014/01/29/designing-flip-flops-with-python-and-migen/ 2014-01-30 06:08 the comments are full of people failing to understand what migen is 2014-01-30 06:14 whitequark: does migen with any FPGA ?
