We used Sparc, PowerPC, and 68HC12 (or something in that family). They weren't x86, but they weren't obscure, either. What they all have in common is they instruction sets are small enough to be manageable.
- jonhohle 3y agoWe used 68HC11 for our operating system course and had to write a simple multitasking OS that ran on real hardware. I got to use that OS the next semester to run on a car that needed to follow a track, avoid collisions, and a few other things. Being a microcontroller you got a bunch of things that today need full development boards right on the chip (ADC, RAM, etc).
