ARM inside PIC32

[Gamboa]

Hi,

I don't know if it's the first or there are already some more, but I'd bet it won't be the last.
A PIC32 with an ARM M4 core: PIC32CX-BZ2

The price for such a powerful chip is not bad either.

No stock, so vapourware

Hi,
I don't think it's "vapour".
The modules of that chip can be purchased

I don't think any company develops a chip so as not to sell the chip.
It may not be in stock at this time but it will be.

<rant> Well I'm sure they will make useful (i.e. thousands) quantities of the chip at some point, but I and my customers spend quite a lot of time trying to get existing Microchip parts so that makes me cautious about any new ones that even Microchip Direct don't yet have in stock. </rant>

Looks like Microchip are scared of the Espressif ESP32, which is an absolutely AWESEOME device for module development. It has dual cores capable of operating at 240MHz, it is 32bit, one core runs a WiFi stack and only requires data sent to it. Check it out!

we need just  "positron32"
to be able build all kind off  pro level quailty ,stable and safety coded" IOT projects with PIC MCU by Positron32"
