I have been experimenting with writing C code for the miniboard
using the Micro-C 6811 developers special.
I haven't much experience writing code for small systems or in assembly.

I have a few questions regarding programming the 6811/miniboard:

With 2k memory, is coding in assembly pretty much required? 
When using the libraries from Fred Martin, can the libraries
be configured so that portions not being used are eliminated?
Are any special cc11 flags useful?
Any caveats on what constructs to avoid?
Any suggestions/tricks for writing compact C/assembly code for 6811?
Suggestions for books on the above topic?

As an aside, what sorts of tasks are you planning for your miniboard?
What about two or more miniboards working together?

Thanks,
