That's really interesting. Thanks for the link. I read some things before about the Arduino overhead impacting user code. That is a glaring example. I'm trying to stay as generic as possible.. if I need to dip into the hardware specifics because of the overhead in the Arduino I will, but it sure would be nice to try and keep the code generic as possible since Arduino has both AVR and ARM boards. And I certainly don't want to toss all of the established device libraries for the Arduino out the window.
I guess it may be human nature to try and keep things cheap, but if a project is not going to result in hundreds or thousands of devices being made, the cost difference between a AVR or ARM seem to be almost irrelevant compared to the labor/time involved. Hopefully by trying to keep things fairly generic I can move between the two as it makes sense. Regarding the Atmel ICE and Microchip; I ordered the ICE late one night, the following day Microchip shipped it out and I had it the next day. They shipped it overnight even though I didn't ask for overnight shipping. So far, Microchip has me impressed. I'll let you know what I find regarding the ICE.
