How is Chipageddon affecting you?

--- Quote from: tom66 on February 24, 2023, 11:12:02 am ---RPi has faced shortages well before Chipageddon. There is an argument that it is a little underpriced given the demand they receive for the product but it was originally an educational 'toy' and it's since been taken up by loads of SMEs as an easy way to embed Linux into X (whether or not it really requires it.)

Indeed. It seems that many Pi projects could be more economically implemented with a ucontroller of some kind. And many other projects don't even use I/O, so you might as well just use a cheap SFF pc - at today's Pi prices, you could pick up some old Dell or HP mini box for cheaper.

Another sign that distis are desperate to ship stuff they can invoice, and that few new orders are arriving, is that rescheduling drops on scheduled orders is becoming impossible.
One of UK's biggest distis (a German owned company) is now totally rigid. I've never seen that before.

Things are slowly getting back to normal.
My favorite devboard NUCLEO-L452RE and my favorite mcu STM32L452RET6 have plenty availability now.

I've been on Digi-Key's notification list for STM32F7 parts for 2 years now and finally was notified that one of these parts (STM32F767) was in stock. The email arrived at 8:01am today. When I checked the website at 8:02am the part was out of stock again. |O

I take it as a good sign that deliveries to distributors are starting to come through at all. There's bound to be a backlog of demand.
For I time I worried if we'd ever see some of the STM32F4 parts again, but now I can (finally!) buy them off the shelf.
Still looking Intel squarely in the eyes and asking about WTF they did to the Altera product line, though.
