Re: USBComposite send data from within interrupts

I agree with Phil: IRQ handlers should be fast and short, just clear the interrupt, set some flags, record accurate time stamps, and put received data into a FIFO. Then handle all lengthy / complex operations in the main loop, possibly going back to deep sleep if there is nothing to do. And if you r...

Re: New APM32F103CB

Good!

So, just a simple single-precision floating point ALU with Cordic exposed in peripheral address space.

No SIMD vector or MAC operations and no saturation, so almost useless for all DSP usage.

Better than nothing :-(

No, generally, Chinese manufacturers are not confident in Open Software / hardware, they prefer to buy a commercial IP for these kind of purpose.

Re: New APM32F103CB

Here is the (Google) translation for page 14: 3.10. Floating Point Unit (FPU) The product has a built-in independent FPU floating-point arithmetic processing unit, it supports the IEEE754 standard single-precision floating-point arithmetic. As it is memory-mapped on the AHB bus (0x40024000-0x400243F...

Re: New APM32F103CB

Just to give you an idea about what needs to be achieved: imagine yourself having to write a documentation in Chinese for your brand new chip ;-) Most Chinese engineers are not speaking and often not reading anything but Chinese. Given their huge domestic market, they seldom put an effort in providi...

Re: New APM32F103CB

I only have quoted blaatshaap.be The APM32F103CB is listed here as fake: https://www.blaatschaap.be/?p=120 The stop quoting and make your own mind;-) But it is my opinion that selling undocumented functions that cannot be used can be seen as a fake functionality. Here you can read what is praised b...

Re: New APM32F103CB

The STM32F103 has no FPU anyway. So if the APM32F103CB has one (peripheral) FPU and you are able to make it work, good for you, it is just a bonus. Don't call a (more or less) relatively close STM32 clone a fake, as there was no intention from the manufacturer to fool customers into thinking they ar...

Re: New APM32F103CB

Yes, this is what I say: the one that are fakes are the one mounted on Bluepill boards with their marking changed, not the chips themselves.

Re: New APM32F103CB

Not fake . This would mean that they are made on purpose to confuse people that they are the original part, which is not the case. These MCU all have an ARM Cortex-M core (with a legal ARM licence or not) and a more or less STM32-compatible peripheral and memory map. This is not too hard, as you can...
