'Master' and 'slave': Tech terms face scrutiny amid anti-racism efforts
Simon:
I have yet to hear of chip manufacturers that have changed. The claim of the open hardware bollocks association is false. Where devices are not strictly SPI SDI and SDO have been used for years and minor chinese manufacturers who do not give a hang about standards will just call inputs SDI and outputs SDO and it just so happens that you can talk to their gear with an SPI interface.
Simon:
device to device you can call it what you like but if you have a multi device SPI network it soon becomes important to be precise about terminology especially if you throw in multi-master capability.
Ed.Kloonk:
The whole theory in basic is flawed, unfortunately, because a certain number of the community do not try to find things that are offensive.
edit: responding to #1399. Sorry Browser is set to paranoid.

Anyway, point of my two links I posted on this topic today is it looks like despite the collective tantrum and echo chambering we are seeing in here from a handful of dedicated reactionaries and a couple of impressionable followers, it's gaining momentum in the real world.
Oh. And I'm not really concerned by people changing my SPI naming convention in any designs I do.... Chances are, if a couple of letters in a simple and standard serial comms convention are enough to throw you off your game that you can't work without changing it, well, there'll be other things that need rework in your "finished" job, and I'll change it back again while I'm fixing those mistakes anyway.

This is no echo chamber. Others who share your view have posted here. It's just the majority on this forum, including those from countries with mostly non-white populations and I dare say most engineers, dissagree with you.
Stop making unfounded presumptions. Like many others here, I'm no conservative. I agree with gay marriage, equal rights for minorities and that governments should be tough on those who dodge tax. I support strict gun laws, universal healtcare and good education for all.
I'm against the word police, like you. It's not about left vs right, but free vs censorship.
