Arduino Due

[Brian Griffin]

Another new Arduino which features Atmel's ATSAM3X8E with ARM Cortex-M3. It'll be launched at October 22. No floating point unlike the ARM Cortex-M4, but hey, it's still much easier to do something heavy with a 32-bit.

That Atmel ATSAM3X8E has a lot of guts inside, which is the hardware memory controller (not enough RAM? add some on it!), DAC (for all our projects which are musical in nature), SD-Card interface (no more need to write tough libraries for that anymore) and others like DMA.

I hope the IDE contains all the example libraries which utilizes the stuff inside.

Anticipating its arriving in Cytron's store...

The onboard DACs and the SD-Card controllers are what makes the new Arduino so attractive.

If these SD-Card controllers allow bootloaders, you know you can pop in a hex file inside the card and fire away the program.
