Why? Abstraction is great but abstraction (like abstract art) can also mean hard to understand. In small constrained systems the real hardware has to be embraced. A skilled C engineer can easily handle the programming needs of a 8-16 bit small system with no OS, limited memory, small stacks and limited and/or strange von-Neuman or Harvard architectures. For 32-bit embedded systems with modern cpu architectures C++ might a sensible option.

CS programmers gone wild in an EE world is usually what happens when tools like C++ are used in projects that should be a Procedural programming task.

i have a c++ programs written for a raspberry pi (arm processor) and i need to understand it,
i did not program a micro using c++ before and i am not familiar with arm architecture
i figure that maybe using c++ with a familiar architecture (for me) like microship pic is a good start before beginning with arm

How about just learning the basics of C++ first? Then you will be in a good position to deal with the ARM/Rpi specific calls in the code you are looking at.
