but maybe what we truly need is a universal software level architecture that can be used on various different CPU architectures providing maximum flexibility.

I think that's called Java.

Then again, if you don't have the JVM/JRE, Java won't work, so first you need to write it in another language and in such a way that it works across a bunch of different ARM and x86 processors.

I don't know, if your platform doesn't have a jre... Is it really a platform?
