As the first of the PIC24s are in production, a nice feature for the dsPIC compilers (maybe they should be renamed to dsPIC and PIC24 compilers) would be def files for the PIC24s. Also, some sort of error message if you try to use DSP libraries or any other DSP engine functions if a PIC24 is selected. It's not too early to be integrating the PIC24 (at least the few currently in production) into the dsPIC compilers.
As of today, the following are "in production":
PIC24HJ64GP206
PIC24HJ128GP206
PIC24HJ128GP506
PIC24HJ256GP206
New compiler support for PIC24
New compiler support for PIC24

They're moving fast on these - They now have the following "in production":
PIC24FJ128GA006, PIC24FJ128GA008, PIC24FJ128GA010
PIC24FJ64GA008, PIC24FJ64GA010
PIC24FJ96GA006, PIC24FJ96GA008, PIC24FJ96GA010
In addition to the four listed above.
And most of them are available for order in the US. The prices are astonishing! For example, the PIC24HJ128GP506, which is 40 MIPS (80 mHZ), has 128K of flash and 8K of RAM, 2 UARTs, 2 SPI, 2 I2C, and 1 CAN, are selling for $5.88 in quantities of 1-25. That's cheaper than an 18F4580!

In addition, the following dsPIC33s are in production:
dsPIC33FJ128GP706, dsPIC33FJ128MC706, dsPIC33FJ256GP506
dsPIC33FJ64GP206, dsPIC33FJ64GP706, dsPIC33FJ64MC706
They're also rather inexpensive, particularly considering how much ROM, RAM, and other goodies they have.

There was another thread on that. They're planning on producing a couple of new boards. In the mean time, we can develop apps on the dsPIC30F6014. It would be nice to have the def files, though, just to get a head start on the coding for the new targets.
Yeah, yeah....I know.....it's going to be many months before we're actually going to be able to test this on an actual target. I'd be curious if the ICD2 port on the dsPIC PRO will work with these, though. It may be possible to use the present dsPIC PRO board with some sort of SMD protoboard.
