8051 Interviews
Trade shows are not always easy to go to, and many engineers are reluctant to pick up the telephone and "be pitched" by vendors. Yet there is something about the human voice, about listening to questions and answers that can be very revealing and helpful. Accordingly, as part of eg3.com 's Podcast program, we have some brief interviews with leading 8051 vendors.

• IPExtreme - 8051-based Intellectual Property
  • Rick Tomihiro of IPextreme talks with eg3.com about practical intellectual property for embedded systems, specifically the company's 8051 IP acquired from Mentor Graphics as well as the company's novel business model of taking tried-and-true IP from big semiconductor companies and working with these partners to repackage their IP with additional services and skillsets to make it both easy-to-use and reliable. A big advantage is that the IP thus derived has been "field tested" as well as subject to extensive verification by the semiconductor vendors themselves. IP available includes the 8051, ColdFire, Bluetooth, c166, and more. Full podcast, here .
