#166232 - Keil's blind spot Responding to: ???'s previous message |

The main reason for getting multiple compilers from the same vendor would have been if they had an offer that you get the following licenses at a reduced price, or if the support fee for one of the compilers was also valid for the compilers for the other architectures too. And this most obvious point seems to have totally escaped Keil!! ARM's stated aim in acquiring Keil was to ease the transition from 8-bit to ARM - and yet there is absolutely no financial incentive whatsoever for existing C51 licensees to "upgrade" to ARM!! D'Oh! |
