I'm not sure that Atmel sees any future for 8051...


Jim Granville said:
Whilst the 8051 division is not as large as the AVR, it is still active.

They have just released the AT89LP51ID2/ED2/RD2 series, and these are so new, the Disti's have prices up, but no stocks yet


I know - see: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/183802

But I recently received the Newsletter, which proudly proclaimed:

eNewsletter from Atmel - March 2012 said:
Two architecture, one Studio - Atmel Studio 6

http://www.atmel.com/newslette...012_b.aspx


I pointed out that Atmel is well-known as having three architectures, so why are they only supporting two in their Studio - and making such a big thing about it?!

The reply was, "the size of the remaining 8051 marketplace does not justify the cost and effort that would be required to fully support these micros in our Studio suite. I understand this might be a little disappointing but it’s a pure return on investment decision. The Cortex marketplace is growing fast and the 8051 is at best stagnant today."

Hence my earlier comment.
