Abstract :
The paper presents a set of techniques for building robust software using the development of a microprocessor SUPPORT programming environment as an example. It discusses some of the attributes built into the system to best handle the concerns of portability, functionality, and effectiveness that had to be dealt with for the system to be reliable on a small machine, and it describes some of the choices made to obtain the best use of available hardware
