Interesting -- could you write about your impressions? How do peripherals compare? I think you get 32-bit timers on the STM32? And I heard that most other peripherals are newer/better than the 8-bit peripherals that NXP/Freescale adapts to the Kinetis chips -- what do you think?

I guess I just haven't needed those bells and whistles. 32 bit timers are kinda huge. And some of the peripherals on the STM are suffering from "newer ain't always better" - the CAN and I2C controllers are more complicated than they need to be, IMHO.

Edit: I can't make any useful comparison on analog peripherals since I use external ADCs, DACs, etc. more or less 100% of the time

Thanks, this reply is much appreciated.
