One of the first expressions I learned as a young embedded-system developer was “Smart money avoids Version 1.0.” Back then, there was little expectation that even a compiler would be available to developers soon after the availability of a new processor. Working with a new processor or development tool meant your own development team would experience some of the growing pains of determining what worked properly and what work-arounds were necessary to get the system to do what it needed to do.
