metal, no Arduino platform), to test my freshly-built
cross-compilation and programming toolchain.
If you program in assembly, you'll learn to hate the AVR assembler.
(Yeah, I know there's one in GCC as well, but it's not the same
thing, as a *real* macro assembler). Must have been an assignment
for an intern.
There are better alternatives, if you're willing to work a bit to
keep things updated to the chip you're working on.
