It depends, as I told you, on what you think an "embedded system" is. You can make yourself an impression of the size of a C++ program if you simply write a test "hello world" application, compile it and link it statically. After stripping it you can have a look at what's possible. > Problems - compiling (cross-compiling?), size? Cross compiling is no problem as long as there is a GNU toolchain for the target you are developing for. If your application is size sensitive you have to take special care what libraries you use (e.g. something like uClibc instead of glibc). > And in general - to what extent is it possible to write applications > for embedded systems?

It's a little bit difficult to help you with the right answers as long as you don't tell us what you want to do. In general it is possible to embed everything from a 68EZ328 microcontroller with 16 MHz and small memory up to let's say a 8 Processor data processing cluster with several GB of RAM.
