As a complete noob at embedded development I'm looking at the FreeScale
Netburner (5213) dev kit as a relatively capable processor and reasonably
priced entry into the game, but with the pricing on the 5270 being
effectively the same for twice the bang for the buck, I'm not sure how to
proceed.
I'm wondoring why you're looking at Coldfire? Most people who use
Coldfire are leveraging the Ethernet interface that's only available
on higher end chips. The 5213 is a new chip, but has no Ethernet.
I'd recommend also looking at Arm. I think the most bang for the buck
is in the Arm world right now. Like the new NXP lpc23xx family. Or the
Atmel AT91 family. Just a thought - they're more popular than
Coldfire. If the purpose in learning is to make yourself marketable in
the embedded field, then chip popularity is a concern.
I've always preferred the Coldfire internal architecture, but most of
us use C compilers now, so that doesn't matter much.
