in the next few years wala sigurong ibang licensing na mangyayari (of course except for ARM). kanya kanya sila ngayon all competing to be the best but only making MCU religion out of people using them. at the licensing stage, it's not the popularity that counts, it's the revenue that it can generate. parang yung Renesas na lang, andaming hindi nakakaalam dito sa atin pero number 2 na sila sa competition sa Certain Processor para sa cellphone.
obviously, popularity and revenue belong in the same sentence..Why would atmel license the 8051? Cant they make their own mcu? of course they can, and they did later on. But 8051 is already popular, and would mean large revenue so they took it
hello. pareho ba ang PIC16F84A-04/P sa PIC16LF84A-04/P? thanks
......paminsan MSP430 dahil maraming nakatambak sa bin.
^ 'di ako master diyan. ang gamit ko dati IAR, tapos sinubukan ko 'yung MSP-GCC. ngayon nakahingi ako ng libreng CD nung libre na Code Composer Studio, 8k ata ang limit sa code size. 'di ko gaanong napaglalaruan 'yung mga MSP ko ngayon, daming iniisip. hehe.
