today! Check "what's new" page. ;-)

Among those documents released, this kit seems to be the first demo for PIC32:
http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/PIC32_UsersGuide.pdf
At a glance:
- is a 3.3V device
- look like no ICD2, Real ICE support - using onbaord debugger which
consists of a PIC18F4550.
- the ASM tool suite is call ASM32
- the compiler sounds like MPLAB C32.

Any idea of pricing? buy.microchip.com shows the starter kit (~$50) and compiler (~$1200) but no devices yet.
They are going to have to be pretty cheap to compete with the NXP ARM devices.

Actually, under "I want to know which Microchip tools support PIC32
microcontrollers" they list:
ICD2 Debugger - PIC32 Support - Yes
Now, they don't make it 100% clear whether this means just programming
support, or if this means debugging too.
They say the debugging interface is 2 wire, that sounds ICD2 to me.
Very interesting, wondering if porting linux to it will be possible! :)

The starter kit seems to be not having the ICD2/ICE interface... but
after I read more, I think ICD2 and Real ICE can be used as debugger
for PIC32MX. If you have Explorer 16 demo board, you can even get a
PIM (~25USD), then the board has transformed into Explorer 32 :)
Anyway the price for the starter kit seems to be very attractive.

And among the items released is MPLAB v8 to support it. The C compiler
student edition will not stop optimizing, but will always limit code size to
64KB, which is larger than the smallest device, but only a 1/4 of the
smallest with DMA.
It will also use ICD-2 if you are not using the demo board, so it would
appear the 18F4550 on the demo board looks like an ICD-2. You can get a
board to go with an Explorer 16 development board, and use an ICD-2 with
that.
See
http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=2603
Also they have code available for a number of TCP/IP uses, and for FAT16
file system.
Multi vector interrupts.
Up to 4 channels of DMA
Claims to be pin and peripheral compatible across families.
They have a number of peripheral library examples available, in both
assembler and C AFAICT.
Not sure if the 'Industry Support' page is supposed to have links to tools,
but it seems to have a number of broken picture links, and sweet all in the
way of page links.
Hmm, looks like it could be a pretty nice chip for doing top end things.

Well, they don't have data sheets yet, just a family overview. The starter
kit won't be available in the UK until Nov 15 (one of my colleagues looked
at the Microchip Buy site here).

Wow, a totoally new 32 bit architecture...
I will wait till I see the first errata sheet!
First impression: poor on peripherals (only one UART, compare a to
standard LPC capture/pwm peripheral). But, as far as I can see, no
dual-voltage needed 9as do the LPC's).

I heard this some time ago but I do not expect it to be announced
so fast. But normally Microchip is slow to get their new parts
(PIC18 and dsPIC30) into the hands of customers. Let's see if
this time they will do better.

Nice. The pricing seems to be quite competitive compared to
Cortex M3. Not so sure when they will produce 40pin or even
28/18pin MCUs. They might since they are now low pin count PIC24.
In that case, the hobbyists can skip PIC24 and go to PIC32 directly.

I agree with you. Hopefully there will be other MIPS based MCU
later. It seems to be targeting Cortex M3.
http://www.eetimes.com/news/design/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=202800129
Atmel is now pushing more of it AVR32 UC core and not to use
Cortex M3 (but they continue to use ARM7 and ARM9).
Renesas sticks to their own 8/16/32bit MCU core since they are the
overall leader in MCU market. So does Freescale (with RS08/HCS08/
HCS12/ColdFire) which is leading in the automotive market.

One of the nice things (from the end user perspective) is that a lot of
peripherals can also be licensed.
Is Mirochip realy worse than other manufacturers in this aspect? Lately
there was a lot of complaining on the arm list about IIRC the LPC2888
(late, bugs, etc).

We've used a lot of Silicon Labs parts (very high speed 8051 parts) and they have had almost no errata.

I see. Their parts are nice and they have very small parts and very
high performance (best in class integrated 16bit ADC). Not so sure
about the errata since I do not see any errata in their CD. However
the datasheets have all gone through several revisions.
Still the parts are not cheap and the delivery may have some issues.
Not so sure the situation now. In my previous job, we moved
some design from PIC to Silabs parts because of ADC speed
and size issues for PIC12F/16F.
By the way, they have a good USB forum section and I learned
quite something there from Professor Tsuneo.

> and they have had almost no errata
When there is NO official errata it always scare me.
I have had stupid system problems because of simple SPI state errors in converters from both Linear Tech and Maxim, neither had any errata. MAxim told me after two nonth they have some undocumented test state tha ti happened to trigger, and Linear tech later came out with a new fixed revision though they said there was no problem in the first.
Also Microchip does this: early PIC14000 had a A/D clock select swithc that was broken never expressed ina an errata, na dnow we bumped inte PIC18FxxJ borking the stack sometimes if an asynchronous hight priority interrupt happens the cycle after a low pri trigged (not expressed in any errata)
I have also been workign wiht PLC systems bumping inte bugs.
And compilers of course.
Even th elatest QuickBasic bit me bad once jumping bad in some circumstances.
I like the way ST once sent me a written letter explaining the nes ST6 was delayed (i had been on an seminar but not ordered anyting).
But some years later i got a couple hundred mosfets from them, that did not stand the power ( I had recieved several hundreds before that worked, but suddenly a batch was bad)
And in that case also the dealer (Farnell) seem not to have gone out to withdras the rest of the batch, resulting in many thousands products failing prematurely in the market.
I have no problem that things are not perfectly made.
The really bad screw-ups happen in next steps WHENEVER MANUFACTURERS DO NOT TELL ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS.
So for a while we buy no more power semiconductors from ST, buy from Farnell when only really needed, try to avoid Maxim (at least al their digital stuff), etc.
We aso had the failing capacitor thread here recently...
There really is great need for a independant organisation to keep track of things in electronics, and we would have things working much more reliable.
Then companies could compete much more fair, and not by hiding problams and making nice-looking presentations of their dreams...

I just noticed that the plain MIPS core hasn't got anything resembling calls or
a stack ... which is good as far as I am concerned. I wonder how far the
Microchip design departs from this (and what assymetries it introduces). Finally
Linux will be ported (some day) to a Microchip core!

I certainly expect there will be more bugs as devices get bigger, faster and more complex. They don't come much more simple than a PIC though ;-)
