I just bought 10 off digikey last week, to have some prototyping stock. Looks like they still got some: https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronic...

Octopart, etc haven't been able to accurately track inventory through this disruption.

Good to know! I've been trying to get hold of certain H7 and G4 variants in a specific footprint. Family and footprint are a hard requirement, but not too picky otherwise. Checking it out.

Of note regarding the one you linked - great find; looks like that Octopart link was bad! I actually have some 491s, and they're great, except that the OSS firmware I'm using them with for this project doesn't support them. Got my own firmware working on them though.

I'm curious what other OSS firmware is using the G4 series?

Betaflight

I also have custom flight controller firmware in Rust that's running fine on G491, but Betaflight needs 47x or 48x.

No luck on getting H7s.

We can buy them in 10s at work without too much gnashing of teeth, but the thousands we need is impossible for another 18 months as far as we can tell.

Edited to add: not that it matters now, we moved to a different MCU that we could get larger shipments of, and we’re lucky enough our application of them can be flexible enough to do so!
