We have not migrated an application but decided to rewrote it completely
from scratch. While the assembler is pretty similar, Intel has made a number
of architectural enhancements and to exploit them it is needed to rethink
one's application. YMMV.

We are not using Intel micro-blocks (except for reception and transmission
blocks).

Yours,
d.
