Hello,

I am interested in learning if the 8 bit interface devices are being maintained/updated or if they have been ‘end of life’d’.

  • Why should people use this category? What is it for?
  • How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?
  • What should topics in this category generally contain?
  • Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?

I am building several projects with the C8051F340 8051 based microcontroller. I prefer a Ethernet module with 8 bit interface. Are the 8 bit devices being maintained/updated or are has SPI become the preferred interface for new development ?

Thank you
