Hello guys,
I have had experience designing with TI's ARM processors, especifically the AM1707 and AM1705 part of the Sitara series.
In general the design experience was very painful, the documentation including application notes were highly fragmented and outdated. And the technical support wasn't very helpful. In summary, very frustrating and I would like to find another alternative for the future.
For my next design (PCB with a Cortex A processor running Linux) I do not want to use TI products, so I would like to hear from you about your design experience with another manufacturers like NXP, Cypress, Analog Devices, etc.
I have never worked with processors from NXP or Freescale (now the same company as I learned recently).
How are other manufacturers in terms of tech support, design reference information (application notes) and software?
If you know of another manufacturer that is worth mentioning please tell me.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Patricio
