things have changed drastically for us in the last decade or so. we have ICEs and hardward debuggers with many times limited functionality, so we still end up using scopes, logic analyzers, and utilizing the free IO ports wiht the help of some LEDs.
however when we are lucky we get decent debug symbols and more than one breakpoint to use (darn ROM debugging). i would have to say you guys working on the upper layers have it easy. i would kill to be able to see the amount of information you guys have for board bring up.
i've had two Mom and Pop ISP and quite frankly they are usually the only ones that will supply a shell account along with their numerous other options (wireless DSL included). the one i'm currently with had a story written about
them on this matter.

i think this is clearly a marketing tie-in.
of course i plan on going to slave labor to get my free comic.
