RE: Re: Is it advisable to use the RCM6700 in new designs?

Hello Mathew,

 

I started using Netburner “Nano” modules several years ago.  They supply a real compiler,  RTOS, and these boards are much faster than the Rabbit Boards.  The compiler tools use the Eclipse IDE, their examples are excellent, and support both C++ and C.  There are also related companies that sell LCD displays, and other hardware for these boards (Versamodule).

Can anyone suggest alternatives to the RCM6710 module.  I'm planning on using uCos for my RTOS.  My gut tells me that using Linux or any form of Windows is a bad idea.  Probably not surprising since I'm most comfortable coding old fashioned C with tiny bits of assembly as needed on bare metal 8 bit micro-controllers.

 

I have asked Digi to characterize their plans for the RCM67xx,  I asked if they view the modules as acceptable for new designs, and if they expect them to be available until about 2025.
