Posted on June 09, 2012 at 18:01That's true, unfortunately. My company had such an experience - the errata sheet grew to about fivefold in size during the project.
While avoiding names, it was not a ST product...
If you followed the stm32f0 appearance more closely, even the datasheet is quite new. Especially the electrical data came late, weeks after the official release.
However, in large parts the f0 has inherited periphery from the M3 and M4 brothers, and should therefore relatively bug-free. The ARM Cortex is not at all a new field to ST, so I would not expect show-stopping bugs.
The bigger problem, at least for ST, is the placement in the market. The target market is very price sensitive, here are still ruling 8 Bit controllers with extremely diverse periphery mixes, significantly lower power consumption, and other features like EEPROM.
