The part of embedded that I'm particualary interested in (and that my |
| 7 |
class deals with) is single chips, which is vastly different to embedded |
| 8 |
systems. |

See details on the chip that I'll be programming here: |

It's an 8 bit microcontroller with a relatively simple assembler style |
| 14 |
(35 instructions). |

However I do feel both embedded levels do belong together. |

The purpose of the dev-pic/dev-embedded is specifically tools that deal |
| 22 |
with the creation and development of embedded systems. busybox and |
| 23 |
uclibc are system applications and libraries that run on embedded |
| 24 |
systems. |

I don't think that claim is correct. Carpaski? |
