I'm amazed that such vendors stay in business. Are embedded developers forced to put up with crappy outdated SDKs, because some legacy chipset is $0.01 cheaper

I'm amazed that such vendors stay in business. Are embedded developers forced to put up with crappy outdated SDKs, because some legacy chipset is $0.01 cheaper per unit?
- all2 4y agoYes. Money is king, especially for high volume production. I found in my time at an embedded computer manufacturer that software, especially in house stuff, takes a back seat to everything else.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoMultiply by 10 million units and you now save $100,000 by using that chipset. In reality, as I understand it, the price difference is often at least $0.10 between the dirt cheap chip and the one with a nice developer experience.
- coupdejarnac 4y agoI kinda love the not-C compiler used for the $.03 Padauk microcontrollers. It's fun, but then again I'm an EE at heart and don't need a lot of abstraction on top of the hardware.
