There are two parts to the Arduino ecosystem. One is low cost hardware. The
other is a software package that is easy for non-wizards to use.
I'd be very surprised if somebody hasn't figured out how to call subroutines
coded in assembly language.
Lots of this around
If so, you can use their hardware and their
software environment and write your code like it was running on a bare
machine as long as you add a wrapper to call it from their environment and
start your code with a disable interrupts.
ANd many "supported by Arduino environment" hardware platforms have
hardware that can do the timing.. the teensy alluded to before has
hardware timers that are trivially accessible from the Arduino dev
environment, because Paul at PJRC (or other folks, too) has built
APIs/libraries to get access to the capabilities of the chip.
So you can use the "timer0" library, which is software on a vanilla
Arduino, and hardware on the Freescale processor used on the teensy.
