Armmite F407xGT6 5.07.02 Beta 0
This first Beta includes all enhancements/fixes as per Armmite F407 5.07.02 Beta 3/4. see here
These include:
CAN [OPEN|CLOSE|START|STOP|FILTER|SEND|READ] commands added
FSMC pins now available for MMBasic use if no parallel display configured.
These additions/differences apply to the F407xGT6 5.07.02
The additional flash allows increased size for the firmware.The firmware is now optimised for speed rather than size.
No LCD Panel is configured by default.
The LIBRARY is now an additional 128K flash section separate to program memory and does not rely on the SPI Windbond flash chip.
OPTIONS are moved back into flash so not dependent on RTC battery.
SAVED VARS are moved back into flash so not dependent on RTC battery.
Both are reset to default when new firmware is loaded.
The Command Line Buffer is moved to RTC Ram (first 1K)
OPTION RESET will clear the options and also the Command Line Buffer.
RTC Ram is also cleared with an MMBasic RESET.
LIBRARY RESTORE will restore any existing library after OPTION RESET.
MM.INFO(DEVICETYPE) added. Returns "Feather" for Adfruit feather else ""
I2C SLAVE mode added.
OPTION Fn5-9 added.
LINE AA command added
LINE GRAPH command added
LINE PLOT command added
MATH CROSSING() added
MATH CRC12 added
MATH POWER added
MATH SHIFT added
MATH(CHI ..) function added
MEMORY PACK/UNPACK added
MEMORY INPUT/PRINT added
SORT command enhanced as per Picomites.

On page 17
Under Predefined Read Only Variables it is listed without the comma.
I don't have a board to test with but I hope it is without the comma.

Hi Jim,
It returns, will fix the manual.
"ARMmite F407xGT"
If anyone is after a board ,the WeAct 64 pin board is about AU$10.00 and with CAN and IC2 Slave support you might find a use for it.
thanks
Gerry

Hello Gerry,
Great work! As you know I have been using this on an STM32F407VGT6 board for a while now and it works nice.
I added some specific analytical functions for my applications and that compiles perfectly in STM32CudeIDE and also runs as expected on the VGT board. The board I use is a standard STM32F407VET6 + TFT where the VET6 has been replaced by a VGT6 MCU. Lots of program Flash and enough SRAM for most applications. And optimization can be switched to fast, no problem with the necessary larger Flash portion.
Thanks
,Henk.
