I'm about to embark on an embedded system as part of my final year project at University. The kit they have in the labs is mainly PICs with C2C compiler. Is this kit used in industry to any extent, or is it the sort of kit used in colleges to teach students but rarely used elsewhere? Is there any particular architecture and development environment that would be better to start with, from a future employment perspective?
Thanks for any advice.
Cheers,
Simon
