A get-started-fast guide to embedded C
/*
* In embedded systems, the C programming language is most often the language of choice. For more intensive
* elements in the system, assembly can be used. Embedded C is distinct from typical C programming in its
* requirements for efficiency, its limited resources, and its unique hardware problems which are much less common in
* the majority of C programs. Even still, the language itself is the same, so check out K&R's The C Programming
* Language and other reference books.

* Some of the problems central to embedded systems programming:
* - Memory management
* - Register access and manipulation
