Re: WHERE'S ALL THE SMALL FOOTPRINT STUFF?

I can't do anything about the DAC resolution (except suggest dithering -
the chip is fast enough if your rates are low).  But I can point out
that the software tools for the Kinetis are free (all zero cost "free",
and mostly open source "free" as well), and jtag debuggers are cheap.

Assembly on the Cortex M devices is not too hard - it has more in common
with the msp430 than the PIC.  But of course virtually everyone uses C
or C++ - the compilers are excellent.

But it is your call, of course.
