Can you elaborate please?\n\nAnd to everyone else that posted about the different processors used,\nthanks! I was a HW/SW engineer for years and developed several in-circuit\nemulators for Tektronix. Later in my career I taught microcontroller\nprogramming at college. I passed some of your info to the current professor\nthere to inspire the students.\n\n-David, N9KT\n\n\nOn Thu, Feb 1, 2024 at 11:27 AM Zach Metzinger via AMSAT-BB <\[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> On 2/1/24 10:07, Paul Stoetzer via AMSAT-BB wrote:\n> > AMSAT's PACSAT board - a modern version of the microsats - uses a\n> > TMS-570, which is an ARM Cortex-R, running at up to 160 MHz with 1280K\n> > of flash storage and 192K of RAM.
