Nice MCU for small jobs

Can someone report experience about PICs?
Many thanks  Klaus

I have used several, 16F.. now everything is 18F14K22

Depends what you want to do.
I program all in asm (gpsasm Linux) and do not use the Microchip tools.
Debug or whatever you want to call it via serial port.

Good stuff, 18F14K22 has internal PLL and runs at 64 MHz with internal clock.

Any idea how it compares to the NXP (or other vendors') libraries?

	Five years or so ago, when I first became interested in ARM
	Cortex M3 MCUs, I've stumbled upon http://libopencm3.org/.

	Now, I'm hardly involved in embedded development to any
	considerable degree, but I don't think I even as much as really
	looked at the ST's own libraries.

I beg your pardon...have you ever looked at the source for ThreadX?

No - and I have no reason to assume the authors of it are sane!

However, I should have qualified by statement better:

No one sane uses assembly on an ARM when the same functionality could be
written in C, C++ or another high-level language.


An RTOS invariably requires code that cannot be written in C - those
bits must be in assembly.

And then there are compiler back ends. ;)
