STM32L1 NRND'd

One of my friends noticed, that ST NRND'd not only the STM8, but also the whole STM32L1xx family.

However, in contrast to STM8, the 'L1 are under the 10-year commitment program, so they should continue to be available in the next 9 years.

'C0 does not have VBAT pin nor the switchover circuitry nor dedicated battery-backup RAM, nor have they the low-consumption provisions of the 'Lxx (with which they are not supposed to compete), etc.

(It does have, quite inexplicably, a relatively complex v3 RTC, though.)

That's not how marketing works.

News.

As spotted by Philipp Klaus Krause, one of the principial developers of SDCC, STM8 were un-NRND'd.

So, I looked at the 'L1, too - the newer ones from them (as witnessed by the -A suffix on some of them) appear to be un-NRND'd too:

and although only the older ones appear to be still NRND'd according to the product list:

the 10-year commitment list lists all of 'L1 as NRND with the end-date not renewed and to be expired at Jan 2032:

Btw. the STM8 (except automotive) are in the 10-year commitment list listed as Active but with non-renewed expiration at Jan 2032 too:
