64-bit microcontrollers
« on: October 27, 2024, 10:22:01 pm »
It turns out that 32-bit microcontrollers are insufficient :) They are already 64-bit. But are these still microcontrollers or are they SoCs? (like in smartphones and tablets). Microchip (as usual) does not follow the "ARM way", but its own*). This time RISC-V. At this point I would like to timidly ask "decision-makers" about the FPC compiler for RISC-V :)

P.S. Chinese manufacturers (e.g. GD, WCH) have a hard life. They barely mastered 32-bit ARM and are slowly trying to tame 32-bit RISC-V. And here again "one of the big ones" moves the "finish line of the race".


*) Once, when they "entered" the 32-bit microcontroller market, they chose the MIPS architecture, while the rest of the microcontroller manufacturers (e.g. Atmel, STM, TI) chose ARM.

This time RISC-V.
It's already there, for 32 and 64 bit:

With the combination CH32V and freepascal I played around, before.

There is some functional Lazarus IDE for RISC-V and Debian Trixie 64 bits?
Devuan Beowulf 3.0( JWM/ROX/iDesk) - Puppy Linux,  Haiku OS,.ReactOS 0.4.xx  - FreeDos .

 Debian Trixie 64 has fpc and lazarus in the repo's but not sure they are built for risc-v
But configuring the cross-compiler is no problem.
Due to censorship, I changed this to "Nelly the Elephant". Keeps the message clear.

Microchip has some 64-bit "MPU"s. https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microprocessors/64-bit-mpus

running yocto Linux it seems
