#82302 - A year is a long time in electronics Responding to: ???'s previous message |
What makes you so sure that Cygnal are going to be around in that time frame let alone that product Just look what happened to Triscend... :-( The way around this is to use agile design methods so that when a redesign is necessary, major code rework etc is minimised. This is a compelling reason to write in 'C' and modularise your code. This is one reason why the 8051 architecture is such a good choice: manufacturers may come, and manufacturers may go; specific chips may come, and specific chips may go - but the 8051 architecture is available from Soooo many sources that it will certainly not disappear any time soon - even if it did, soft cores are available to roll your own! I would say the same of ARM for 16/32-bit applications. All of which does somewhat soften the Triscend blow - as they were all either 8051 (E5) or ARM (A7) based... |
