Ok, I will drop my old 8535 but what to choose as processor ?
M164p, M324p, M644p or M1284p ?

Can you suggest me a good on line shop  fot buying AVR porogrammer ?
AVR Dragon or AVR JTAG ICE Mk2 ?

If you are willing to spend money on the IAR compiler, I would suggest you
invest in either the AVR Dragon or AVR JTAG ICE Mk2 at the same time. Which
one will depend on the processors you intend to use.

This means you will want to drop the ATMega8353 and consider one of the
later devices with JTAG or debug wire capability. It will be well worth the
upgrade.

Using JTAG debugging will save you so much time in trying to figure out what
your code is doing, or not doing. A friend of mine does all his programming
on the PIC in PICBASIC and no JTAG or ICE and spends about 2-3 times longer
than if he had some kind of in circuit debugger. He has to toggle port pins
in parts of the code just to see if he is reaching that point. With JTAG you
won't have that worry. Believe me, it is well worth the additional cost if
you really want get into this properly.

I wish investing on my knowledge, so if you think Winavr is suitable for my
2 projects I'll use it, otherwise I'll buy IAR because I don't want to study

winavr to replace it in the future with AIR. What do you think now ?
