Thanks for all of the great comments. Keil's C is being used for us students to get use to developing embedded code using a development suite (such as Keil's) that is commonly used in industry. We write the kernel program early in the semester to indroduce us to Keil's C and the idea of a kernel or simple monitor program. We will then expand it to include drivers to the hardware devices we design onto the system over the semester(e.g. servos, A/D, D/A, DC motors, LCD, etc.) It is a very busy 15-week semester.

Thanks again for all of the comments.
