Of course you could do it from scratch from the spec, but why bother unless
you have to or really want to. With operating systems like Linux running on
devices as small as wristwatches:

there should be no longer any need do develop custom microprocessors for
applications like yours. Just run an standard OS in a small device, and run
standard software like C-Kermit:

on the standard OS:
