Real Programmers Code Drivers!

Hardware revisions? They have sold what, over a million of these boards with the same CPU. I think that is a large enough base to start designing something for. :)

Great--go for it!

The OP may wish to pursue a less tortuous course.

Uh, I *am* the OP...

If you are talking about the guy who wanted the 6 ADCs I expect you will find he hasn't made much progress.

Current figures are around four million and sales are increasing :)

So maybe there is a market for compatible boards that work *really* well. :)

I think it's closer to 3.5 million Pi's in total now.

You can, but you have a lot of layers of Linux in the way. You can treat the BCM2835 as a microcontroller if you want, but run a microcontroller-style OS on it (or no OS at all), not a full desktop OS.

Having said that, Linux has aspirations in the microcontroller space (phones, IoT, etc) so I wouldn't be surprised if there's some kernel build tweaks towards that, it's just a case of finding them. However it probably doesn't help if the driver isn't written with that in mind.

YMMV as they say... Between different monitors and different sight due to age, etc.... On my front monitor the gray is rather dim and hard to read. On my side monitor with less contrast the gray is much darker and easier to read.

I'll have to agree with Rob Morley, I like green on black for C code.

I don't care as long as its not overly garish or impossible to read.

I may have tapped it all into VI, but in essence I debugged it all on fanfold.
