Eh, no.  You haven't got it at all.  Small systems embedded programming
is a different world from PC programming - the requirements are
different, the hardware is different, the rules are different.  We don't
write code with error handlers that log problems and send debug data
back to the developers - we write code that may have to run for /years/
without a glitch.

(I'm not suggesting embedded programmers don't make mistakes - merely
that it is common to impose restrictions and coding standards to reduce
the risk of errors or their consequences.)
