At work, I once tried to use TI micro board (launchpad or something),
and to program that, I have to download their IDE and edit through that,
because only it knows which headers and libraries to pull in.  Anything
I do or learn, cannot translate to boards from other company.
Eventually, I ended up using Beaglebone Black and wrote a little Python
program. Geez!
