I've also done it on a Motorola 68HC11 (a microcontroller), and I've written both pure machine code and assembly (...) (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

Fundamentally, Steve is correct that RISC is typically more complex to program since it uses less general purpose registers and more complex instructions (it tries to do more per clock (...)

CISC instructions often combine data memory references with arithmetic, logical, or brach capabilities. RISC machines do not. (...) (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)
