MIOS32 on PIC32MZ

Hi All,  Great site here.

My question is…Has anyone looked at porting MIOS32 to a PIC32MZ?  This PIC family look like they might have enough speed and peripherals to handle the task.

Thanks

Hi there and a happy new year! :slight_smile:

Possible: maybe… Amount of work: a lot! :slight_smile: The question is: why? The STM32F4 boards are really inexpensive (~ 12-14 bucks), are widely available and “just work” :). Imho the best 32bit MIOS core evar! :).

Many greets and have fun!

Thanks for your reply…For some reason I had to reset my password before I could reply to you…

I do take your point about the STM32F4 low cost and all the hard work is done.  I have used PIC for other projects and it would be nice to stay with it, but the C code work will be the same.

I was thinking of making a single board with all the interface that I wanted. I could do that with the ARM I guess.

So I guess the answer is that no one has ported to PIC32.  I do not have MIDI experience so I will continue reading and I might think about a complete new design.

Happy New Year to you and all on this forum.

Be aware that the ETH connections to Midibox relay on a Realtime Protocol Midi impementation made availabe from BEBDigitalAudio is a gift to the community with a realy cheap price but not opensource.
So the only advantage i see in the PIC32MZ the Ethernet, is not realy of use because OSC is not that Latency-free as RTPM. (maybe i overseen something, then please update me)
