Triple Core LPC437x?

Hello All,

while reading up on the dual core Cortex M4/M0 MCUs I stumbled on some very interesting information on the Code Red support site. There they mention a "Triple Core LPC437x" part (http://www.support.code-red-tech.com/CodeRedWiki/LPC43MultiCoreProjects)

Does anyone have any more information on the LPC437x part(s)? Is it Code Red that has slipped and published non-public info?

Anyway, a triple core system with two Cortext M4s and one M0 would be very interesting for some applications.

Why do you want a Dual Core M4? I struggle to see need to the M4/M0 product! What is your application?

Hello,

very generally I have two communicating subsystems (one input and one output) which both make heavy use of floating point calculations, and are time critical. I do not want to run both these subsystems on a single M4 if I can avoid it. Cost is not much of an issue, so having a dual core M4 with low latency communication between the sub systems would be very attractive. A third, M0 core would also be usable for side tasks.

The website says "Supported Multicore MCUs include the Dual Core LPC43xx or Triple Core LPC437x parts."
So, it must be on the road-map of NxP. This is my guess:
(1 x Cortex-M4) + (2 x Cortex-M0)
                       or
(1 x Cortex-M4) + (2 x Cortex-M0+)

;) + ;) + ;)

Let the guessing game begin...:D

Right,

but it also says "the Dual Core LPC43xx", so it is not really clear.

Edit: but with that they probably mean the LPC43xx parts except for the LPC437x.

(I desperately try to keep hope up for a dual Cortex M4 solution ;) )

Good spot. But, it says

The LPC43xx family of MCUs contain a Cortex-M4 ‘Master’ core and one (or more) Cortex-M0 ‘Slave’ cores.
