Tuomo Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Hi, I know that Power PC based UMAC 465 CPUs are phasing out, but are there still any firmware updates available? If yes, how long they are supported and kept "functionally" in sync with the latest ARM CPUs? I'm planning to start using 1.2 GHz 32/64-bit Dual Core CPU w/ 2GB DDR3 RAM for high performance nc prototyping purposes (max 8 axes) without EtherCAT. Can anybody see any potential performance etc issue / known problem if using a 465 CPU? Would like to keep my budget pretty low during prototyping and switch over to the latest generation later on...

steve.milici Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 There are no “known” issues with this CPU other than less performance when compared to the ARM CPUs. ARM CPUs also provide more “core management” options. The last fully tested FW for the 465 PPC CPU was probably 2.5.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
