To try to bring the thread a little back on topic, these sorts of cards 
are good for C programming.  They are big enough (memory, cpu, etc.) to 
use C without worrying about resource constraints, and with 
full-featured compilers and whatever libraries you might wish for.  At 
the same time, they are often used in control applications and are small 
enough that the efficiency of C makes it a common choice of programming 
language.

And Jacob was talking about compiling C on it, and even compiling his C 
compiler on it, before we got side-tracked.
