Can I buy STM32 in some decent numbers, or are they still made out of unobtanium?

- mastax 4y agoGenerally the newer STM32s are easier to find because, I assume, they aren't being snatched up by the billions to make designs that were finalized well before these chips were released. I didn't have trouble finding STM32G0 during the height of the shortages.
- DiabloD3 4y agoThis is the problem when building around a specific part, no matter how cheap. The hobbyist community has selected certain daughter boards to clone, and then place SoCs on them that can run Linux (or any other hobbyist OS). If one SoC vanishes from the market, you can drop another one in, and often with zero changes to your design, keep going.
- TheLoafOfBread 4y agoSometimes you just don't want to run full stack OS on a chip to switch relays, while consuming 10 times more energy than running FreeRTOS on MCU.
