#147860 - HAL
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The hardware abstraction routines, those at the absolute lowest level that diddle the pins, are the only things that *need* to change. That's the point. A couple of lines here and there and the module is good to go. So most of the code is portable, and hence reusable.
