The new processors in this series as far as I know there is not and no more will be. Existing processors are still produced and used. We use this processor is 4-5 years old and still expect to use in the future. I can look at the new code is correct, but check it can only work on our custom board. Of the new things I would like to add the ability to use gpiolib with this type of processor.ÿôèº{.nÇ+·®+%Ëÿ±éݶ\x17¥wÿº{.nÇ+·¥{±þG«éÿ{ayº\x1dÊÚë,j\a¢f£¢·hïêÿêçz_è®\x03(éÝ¢j"ú\x1a¶^[m§ÿÿ¾\a«þG«éÿ¢¸?¨èÚ&£ø§~á¶iOæ¬z·vØ^\x14\x04\x1a¶^[m§ÿÿÃ\fÿ¶ìÿ¢¸?I¥
