PRLLC and other companies have relatively small boards which have boot
loaders in flash and can download new flash code via a serial link at, say,
19.2Kbps.  Some, like PRLLC include the PC side downloader program free with
the board.

C code:
WinAVR - a form of GCC for the ACVR. No IDE.
AtmanAVR - low cost IDE for GCC.
AvrSide - free IDE. Not bad.

Subject: [AVR-Chat] AVR development Environemnt and Programmer question


Hello
Our team has chosen the Atmel Mega 128 as the MCU for
our project.
I was actually misled by the Ad on atmel website that
Avr studiocxan be used to compile C code for the Atmel
MCU. It only has support for 3rd party vendors.
Our development environment is windows.
this is what i am looking for

1) A *FREE* (no strings attached) tool that allows us
to write , compile , Debug and then download into the
Atmel Mega 128. I wish it to have a GUI(If possible).
Setting up the the whole GNU tool chain seems
cumbersome and i dont wish to waste time on that.

2) Also the board that we build has to have a very
small form factor. And it has to have in circuit
programming capability. So i was thinking of using the
serial mode , i have seen a diagram showing how u can
program using the parallel port of the PC and the
MISO,MOSI,SCLK, RESET.Pins on teh Atmega128. My
question is : will that tool in point 1 be able to
download to the Atmega128 using the programming scheme
i just mentioned?

thanks
I am a complete newbie with the Atmel chip
