I am t an Atmel seminar today an d just learned that IAR now has a free eval
version. 

IAR make the *the* high-end AVR C compiler (normally mucho $). The eval
version is limited to 4kb but otherwise has no restrictions & no time limit.

Gotta love free software

But that just aint free. It's a hook and sinker job;)
How about free as in speech?

There was this wonderful 3D mechanical CAD program (prodesktop express)
that i learnt and used while i was still on windows. It was free for years,
and was a reduced version (but still very good) of their paid-up version.
Last december, it became non-free (now $1k+). It is still a very good
program and worth it if mech-eng is your job (it's far better value
than protel). Luckily, last minute subscribers for the free version
got a 5 year licence;) It doesn't run on linux tho. I love writing
cad programs. I have ideas and a keyboard;)

HI,
 
Thanks for the tip.
 
Please let me know if i can compile the Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger Code given in AVR-450 reference design by Atmel by using the free trial version of the IAR C Compiler.

Watch out for those ref designs, they are VERY basic.
An SLA charger dosen't even need a processor, just a fixed output voltage buck or boost regulator, set to the right voltage. 

Nicad/NIMH charging is a bit more interesting.
My codeset for that just about fills a tiny-26, though there is a bit of inter-processor comms that you might not need.
