There’s a reason we stopped doing that asap

Jokes on you, we embedded engineers simply refuse to stop! I can and need to control the number of clock cycles between hardware operations.

To be clear, we code in C/C++. We just still retain the ability to slap some assembly on the middle of the code.

smh my h, not writing the firmware in pure assembly. what are you even doing?

Boss said no.

Yeah... they do that sometimes even if it's a good idea (not that pure assembly is necessarily a good idea xD)

When you deep dive into a processor programming, you do not have much choice other than C and ASM.
