OK, but that doesn’t really answer my question, and I’m getting the sense you don’t know how deeply some engineers understand how the hardware works. Plenty of embedded programmers have EE degrees, and can write VHDL just as well (or just as badly) as they can write C and ASM.








BASIC? That’s cute.
If you don’t think EE students learn how circuits (including ICs) work, what exactly do you think they’re doing while they’re in school?
