[22:15:32] <exec> 08└─Guilty. So many times. The trick I use to hop that hurdle is to implement a VM of the hardware on my existing dev machine. This extra step is worth it in the long run, IMO, because it speeds the development process. You can quickly create a cross compiler or at least a cross-assembler/disassembler o...
