Proposal: [**Embedded Systems Programming and Design**][1]

  [1]:http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/70800/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 <s>wouldn't be a good fit on either site</s> would be best answered on a 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
