Embedded Development, Circuit Design
Moved embedded development to "Specific Audiences" section. Added
section on circuit design. These two sections are interest to
amateur radio, hobbyist, and professional electronic design
audiences (i.e. FEL), so it makes sense to separate them out and
place them near those sections.

- <para>
- Fedora &PRODVER; includes a range of packages to support development of embedded applications on various targets. There is broad support for the AVR and related parts as well as for the Microchip PIC. In addition, there are packages to support development on older, less popular parts such as the Z80, 8051, and others.

Comment on change to i686 base.
Nothing new for PPC and X86_64 so those sections dropped

+ <title>32-bit base changed to i686</title>
+ <para>
+ Fedora 11 has i586 as the base 32-bit x86 architecture.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ For Fedora 12, we are switching to i686 as the base
+ architecture (including CMOV), and optimize for Atom
+ processors.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ This means we will loose support for the following CPU families:

+ <listitem><para>National Semiconductor Geode

+ </itemizedlist>
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ AMD Geode LX (as used in the OLPC XO laptop) and later
+ Geode NX processors should still work. Those interested
+ are, of course, welcome to set up a secondary arch for
+ older processors

+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>
+ Faster binaries on mainstream architectures (Pentium
+ M, Via C7, all 64-bit arches, Atom)
