Mostly SH3, ARM and x86 for the device emulator.
Nowadays just ARM mostly.
I feel justified in answering cos it isn't the same as developing for a PC.

That's what machines are for.

Sleep on it.

Back in the 80s I "decorated" our Metal band's backdrop with an led outline.
Locally, it ran off an i8031 and some encoder chips n' O/C drivers.
It had the "algorithms" in eprom and a serial port to connect to an old speery 8088 pc offstage running a dos monitor program to select the dazzling light show on board.
Pretty much sucked.
As did we.

* Video switcher for the security system on the MX Missile Train
* Mechanical shuttered camera control system for high speed photography (back in the day)
* Multispectral camera control system (used to detect hydrogen fires around the shuttle engines)
* Laser range gating control systems (used in conjunction with low light level cameras to see through dust storms, etc.)
Primarily all done with Motorola and Zilog processors.

Used Sincliar Zx Spectrum and with an add on card controlled passenger lift.
That was my fun,

I've been tinkering with Arduino for a while and want to get going on Raspberry Pi but haven't got enough clear time to get into it at the moment.

Netduino, and FezSpider (more generally Gadgeteer) are a gift send from the sky to .NET developers.
Hacked a lot with it... so much fun with it !

I have written a lot of code for Linux.

Like a lot of old farts here I started before the PC was ubiquitous.
I was going to answer No until I read the detail of the question. I think you should have put a time limit, say the last decade, if you are trying to gauge current trends.

Trust me on this: compared to modern PCs, mainframes are toys!
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

Ayup, me too. Among other things, I used my C64 to do some robotics programming, which definitely puts the work in the "toy" category. I also did some stuff in C# for Windows CE.

It's not real hard because you don't actually program it per se it's more like a series of waypoints and other structures that you add in an .xml file, among other formats to a special directory and the machine recognizes. I might have some links to pertinent sites if the hamsters ever start behaving.

Having written code for main frame computers, servo-hydrolic testing machines, and mini computers the answer to non-PC would have been yes.

Indeed, mini-computers rock.

They shouldn't, maybe you need to wedge it with something.

Well, in my case it's the cheap Ikea shelving I have them on.
