I haven't confirmed what you've said yet, but it makes sense since 8051/8052 MCUs are generally used for their compatibility with legacy code. I've been working on an agricultural spray controller that uses some silab pa

Even worse than that, people still use legacy devices like 8051 MCUs in modern products. I'm currently working on an assembly codebase for a SiLabs part. Like... Please move to an ARM MCU with a C codebase.
