Now I'm wondering what will happens to ESP8266/ESP32. ESP8266 is a Wi-Fi SoC which was extremely popular in hobbyist world, and its successor, ESP32, is widely accepted in industry too. Will it have any impact on companies that use ESP such as Particle [1] and Arduino?

- sanxiyn 7y agoI don't think so. Espressif is not Huawei.
- kbumsik 7y agoBut it's a Chinese SoC company. I'm wondering if the fight between US and China will widen to any SoC companies in the long term.
- pi-rat 7y agoProbably not, you can only escalate this trade war so many times before it becomes unsustainable by one or both parties. China will probably retaliate by banning a major US tech company, maybe Apple? Keep doing this a couple of times and pressure/lobbying/economic damage will force a resolution.
- turbinerneiter 7y agoThese are not made by Huawei and do not use ARM cores. They are made by Espressif and use Tensilica cores. Tensilica is a US company, owned by Cadence. I don't know of any ties between Espressif and Huawei.
