[Diy_efi] Here's a little micro to build on...

[Bill Shaw]

The problem is usually the development system.  Unless you do gnu it's 
pretty expensive to buy the tools.  I know Renesas is good about giving 
developers the software tools with the smaller parts (I use R8C/10s on a 
few devices),  but I don't know about the bigger parts.  Do they have a 
free version of HEW for this part?

If you're looking for an interesting controller ecu controller the 
Freescale MPC5554 is worth a look.  Few $k for the Metrowerks compiler,  
few $k for the Lauterbach debugger (emulator),  couple k more for the 
Freescale Rappid tool and you're good to go. :-)

PowerPC E processor, 2 meg flash, 64k ram, dma engine, flexcam engine, 
serial/deserial engine, analog converter engine, more.  Set up all the 
engines using the dma controller and they all run in parallel with the 
PPC.  Oh yes,  *AND* the dual TPU!  The time processing unit can 
independently read the engine position sensors and provide injector, 
spark, and cam timing without processor intervention.

BTW, Robin - I just brought home the Axiom MPC565 development board 
tonight.   I need to set up a development environment for it next,  
haven't even had a chance to see what's on the cd yet..

Best,

Bill
