I called the UK office today and was presented with a very unprofessional
answerphone message and told that if I wanted more information I should
contact one of the UK distributors. They then invited me to leave a message
and somebody would get back to me.
I have heard nothing yet.
If NXP are going to supply product in a country, and they have an office
in that country, they should at the very least have a person on the end of a
phone, or to return calls in a timely manner.
Embedded Artists have been placing the QFP64 package part on their
demo boards for a while now, so they are not vapourware, so why are they
now apparently saying that we will have to wait until Q4 for supply of the parts.
I have a visit from a distributor who can supply a new device from ST, that apparently
has slightly lower power consumption than the 54102 M4 core, and I am seriously
considering turning my back on NXP permanently.
So, come on NXP, give us some facts please. When are we going to get a supply
of the QFP part ?.
Sorry for ranting, but I have been having a hard time convincing my boss that the
decision to use this part was the correct one, and I am now seriously having
second thoughts.
