Arduino makes a nice "easy" front end with readily available and trivial to
use sketches for doing whatever you might want to do without having to know
a lot of stuff to do it.  For the rest of us, Arduino is a fairly good
specification for a minimum of interface to the CPU and a bootloader.  I
routinely use the standard bootloader to upload ASM programs as well as a
Forth interpreter.
