Re: [AVR-Chat] Where has everyone gone?

2014-05-02 by Jim Wagner

I use Studio 6.x more or less willingly. It is a major pain in my situation (Win8 on VirtualBox on a Mac). Not counting VirtualBox boot time, Studio can approach 5 minutes to boot up. It is also quite sluggish in basic use, but just at the outer edge of acceptable. However, it compiles, simulates, and programs even the newest Xmegas, which Studio 4 will not do.

I tried Crosspack, but the lack of comprehensive simulation and the lack of tool chain maintenance were killers for me.

I am also about to embark on what ever free IDEs are offered for PIC and MSP430. So, no comparison, yet.

So nobody can comment on how bad AS6 is compared to any free IDEs available from/for other manufacturers?
