All that stuff about STC chips

I hope that a big boss can add the full series of STC chips to the Arduino family, has a big boss studied?

Hi @huay6. Maybe you can be that "big boss" who creates an Arduino boards platform for these chips.

You can learn about the Arduino boards platform framework from the Arduino Platform Specification:

AFAIK, The available STC Microcontrollers are all "8051 architecture", for which there is no widely available C++ compiler. That means that an actual Arduino framework is nearly impossible.

There have been a couple of experiments with an arduino-like pure C environment using the "Small Device C Compiler" (SDCC), like https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Program-8051-Using-Arduino/, but they're pretty far from what one would "expect" of "Arduino compatibility"

I see these Arduino boards platforms that use SDCC:

It doesn't seem very relevant. Did you maybe intend to link to something else?

No, I just didn't look carefully enough. (the link I posted seems to be about how to use Arduino hardware to program an 8051, with .hex files produced "somehow." I had assumed it was "with the Arduino IDE."
