Speaking of h/w and f/w, was the model helicopter flight control
ever ported to Oberon-07? <br>
<br>
In Niklaus Wirth, "A Computer System for Model Helicopter Flight
Control", Technical Memo Nr. 6: The Oberon Compiler for the <br>
Strong-ARM Processor, 1999, we find the following in the conclusion.<br>
<blockquote>An important advantage of designing one's own compiler
is that specific, perhaps machine−dependent facilities can easily
be incorporated. Such facilities are required if, for example,
specific resources must be accessible, such as processor status
register, memory management registers, or device interfaces. This
is typically the case for embedded applications, which also
require a predictable performance for real−time sensing and
control. <br>
