Selecting the right microcontroller for a particular project can be
difficult, and ecos-discuss is probably not the best forum for this.
You might have more luck on the comp.arch.embedded newsgroup. In
addition I would suggest doing some background reading, for example
the comp.arch.embedded microcontroller FAQ/primer at
http://www.landfield.com/faqs/by-newsgroup/comp/comp.arch.embedded.html
or a book such as "Programming Embedded Systems in C and C++" by
Michael Barr, http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/embsys/index.html
