structs with uint8_t on a MCU without uint8_t datatype
I am an Embedded Software developer and I want to interface to an external device. This device sends data via SPI. The structure of that data is predefined from the external device manufacturer and can't be edited. The manufacturer is providing some Header files with many typedefs of all the data send via SPI. The manufacturer also offers an API to handle the received packets in the correct way(I have access to the source of that API). Now to my problem: The typedefed structures contain many uint8_t datatypes. Unfortunately, our MCU doesn't support uint8_t datatypes, because the smallest type
