Proposal: Embedded Systems Programming and Design
There is already a lot of questions from everyone who doesn't understand embedded to question why our questions wouldn't be on topic on SO and/or EE. So, let's show them by proposing better example questions that wouldn'twouldn't be a good fit on either site would be a good fitbest answered on eithera cross-discipline site. This way, an OP could get answers from multiple angles w/ regards to specialties and areas of expertise. Yes, once the site launches there will undeniably be questions that are on topic on those sites, but it won't help us in the beginning to be on one extreme or the other.
SO======================EE
^^^^^^ <<<<<< EMBEDDED LIVES HERE!!
Questions that can't help but involve hardware and software, such as
- assembly
- bootloaders
- kernel drivers
- embedded C that uses pointers
- USB/similar implementation specifics
- FPGA Programming!!
- OS Porting
- Exposing Processor specific features to a kernel
