Forget it.

Embedded applications contain typically many hardware depending code.
So a separate written code will never working !
This was the reason, why Java was developed (be hardware independent).

As already sayed, I build only 8051 hardware, since I am familiar with its timing conditions and pitfalls.

All others are buyed readymade only. E.g. we use also a Motorola board (2MB, booting over Ethernet for programming in C++).
So we have no circuit diagrams or sources (boot EPROM, ASICs).
There is a manual, which documented only all things to use it (bus connector, timings, memory and peripheral mapping and interrupt usage).

Whit no basic comprehension at this points again:

FORGET IT !!!
