Is the SX-Blitz worth the lower cost then the SX-Key?
That is, is the key used for debugging when you want accurate timing or when operating over 50Mhz.

I am trying to by the Blitz which is available or wait for the new Key to be available.

Please comment.

cheers,
rich

    If you're serious about development wait for the Key.

    Rich,

    Ditto what JonnyMac said. The SX-Key allows you to do full hardware debugging of your running program. you can single step, walk, run and set a breakpoint on the actual code running on the actual chip. The Blitz will only program, leaving you to debug using much more primitive techniques (Guenther's SX-Sim not withstanding).

    Thanks,
    PeterM
