STM32 timeline infographics

[waclawek.jan]

Is there a newer version of this infographics:

https://community.st.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/44904i6E7E4466B43E7167/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999

?

It was used in the "10 years of STM32" campaign.

If there is no such, can please such infographics be produced? It could accompany a "17 years of STM32" campaign :)

Thanks,

Hang on a minute:

Surely, that's not true?

I thought Luminary Micro had the first Cortex-M MCU?

ST were the first of the big, established vendors - but not the first in the world?

Here you go - 2006:

Yes, but since Luminary was gulped by TI which does not appear to care a iota about history and timelines and continuity and such "soft" nonsense, I don't think anybody would complain...

But it's still not true for ST to claim to have been the first - they weren't.

Addendum

I also think that Luminary were the first with the idea of integrating the debug probe on the dev board - something which is now pretty much standard practice.

(they did it with the bit-bang features of an FTDI chip, IIRC)

Exactly, its a Sales and Marketing trait that I find particularly grating. I can understand why indigenous people object to Columbus "Discovering" America, I'm glad he found it, and can celebrate that, but please don't tell me it wasn't there before he got there.

Dear @waclawek.jan @Andrew Neil ,

We invite you to register to our biggest Online event each year to check out our Innovations and new products since 2007 - First STM32 . By the way same year a phone is launched and reshaped the world :-).

 

here is the link https://www.st.com/content/st_com/en/events/stm32-summit.html#register-now and we will show similar graphics .

Ciao,

My first STM32 project started in early 2008

WaW - @Andrew Neil your are our early adopter of our STM32 . much appreciated!  Indeed we made a big event at embedded World 2008 in February and I’m quite sure you attended our booth .  Please message me for any help of new Boards .

Dear @waclawek.jan @Tesla DeLorean @Andrew Neil @AScha.3 ,

 

I was reading your comments with full of nostalgia:-) on How the Journey started . All what has been said is correct and it is now almost 20 Years when we worked with ARM to have a new Core for the MCU world ( Real-time) industrial: Low latency for IRQ, as fast as possible with thumb2 and low cost Tools ecosystem ( SWD and beyond) . I was among the team of  first engineers at ST who played with the Cortex-M3 core mapped on FPGA in fall 2004 and got outstanding performance vs ARM7 at that time .  Today it is another chapter at MCU market, we need to keep the pace of innovation , This Community is an important piece of it. Stay tuned .

Cheers,
