Summarize the pros and cons of using assembly language versus C to program an embedded system.

Solution

ASM has poor legibility and isn\'t really maintainable compared to higher-level languages. Also, there are many fewer ASM developers than for other more popular languages, such as C. Furthermore, if you use a higher-level language and new ASM instructions become available (SSE for example), you just need to update your compiler and your old code can easily make use of the new instructions.
