Absolutely futile waste of money for Texas Instruments, Freescale, LSI, Siemens and anyone else including ARM holdings and their investors.
ARM software headers file designs were made up by thick shiits.
CPUs do not have headers that define registers and bit fields.
So everyone writes crap code using hard coded numbers.
Hooray for non-portable code.
What code you write for one CPU is not valid for another from the same family.
Impossible to grep the code to say look for Porta.Bit0 because you might have called it PORT_A.BIT0 and the man in the cubicle could have called it PORT1.BIT0. Everyone is right and wrong at the SAME TIME!!! Wow! Thank gwad for dumb shiites who know how to write shiite header files for ARM chips.
