-General Informations can be found in the Intro-Article: [[what is a MIDIbox]].
+There are two versions of MIOS: The (older) **MIOS8**, used for MBHP_Core modules equipped with 8bit PIC uControllers and **MIOS32** used for the Core_STM32 modules with 32bit STM controllers. If you are planning to build a new MidiBox, you should use the newer Core_STM32 that allows much more complex devices.
+===== MIOS8 =====
+{{  http://www.audiocommander.de/pics/sonst/MIOS_Overview.gif}}
+MIOS8 is used for MBHP_Core modules equipped with PIC18F452, PIC18F4620 or PIC18F4685.
 **The Article [[http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap_newbies.html|MIOS Bootstrap For Newbies]] (also available as [[http://www.ucapps.de/mios_bootstrap.html|MIOS Bootstrap]] in different languages) contains important informations about how to upload MIOS - the operating system - and an application.**

+===== MIOS32 =====
+MIOS32 is used on Core_STM32 boards, equipped with the 32bit STM32F103RE processor. MIOS32 is prepared for other 32bit uCs as well and allows platform independent applications.
+MIOS32 on a CORE_STM32 is more powerful than MIOS8:
+  * MIOS32 uses the realtime operating system FreeRTOS and allows simple multitasking with different priorities.
+  * It also supports native USB MIDI for faster code upload and MIDI transfer.
+  * Interfaces such as SPI and I²C can be used with DMA, allowing fast transfer at low CPU load
+  * Besides hardware multiplier and division units the STM32F103RE provides more peripherals:
+    * CAN or USB (can not be used in parallel)
+    * SPI
+    * I²C
+    * Timers
+    * DAC
+    * ADC
+    * I2S for Audio DACs
+  * The STM32F103RE provides 512kB of Flash and 64kB RAM
+  * BankSticks are replaced by SD Cards for more and faster memory
