It turns out that 32-bit microcontrollers are insufficient
They are already 64-bit. But are these still microcontrollers or are they SoCs? (like in smartphones and tablets). Microchip (as usual) does not follow the "ARM way", but its own
*). This time RISC-V. At this point I would like to timidly ask "decision-makers" about the FPC compiler for RISC-V
P.S. Chinese manufacturers (e.g. GD, WCH) have a hard life. They barely mastered 32-bit ARM and are slowly trying to tame 32-bit RISC-V. And here again "one of the big ones" moves the "finish line of the race".
*) Once, when they "entered" the 32-bit microcontroller market, they chose the MIPS architecture, while the rest of the microcontroller manufacturers (e.g. Atmel, STM, TI) chose ARM.
