Hello, I have been using ARM, PIC, X86 for a long time and now we need to do a project using AVRs. Any ideas on where/how to start up with some (low cost) IDE for windows that uses GCC fro AVR? We need to program in 'C' I think olimex boards and jtag are the way to go for hardware, correct? Thanks, Gus

I think that GCC comes with a Windoze IDE (WinAVR, pronounced WhenEver). There is an AVR GCC forum at www.avrfreaks.net Jim On Fri, 09 Sep 2005 20:27:54 -0000 "Gus" <gus_is_working@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I have been using ARM, PIC, X86 for a long time and now > we need to do > a project using AVRs. > > Any ideas on where/how to start up with some (low cost) > IDE for > windows that uses GCC fro AVR?

WinAVR is a Windows bundled install of avr-gcc and other essentials for AVR development. Some is GUI, some is not. None of it is really an IDE. GCC does not come with WinAVR, WinAVR comes with avr-gcc. In addition the fact one is on Windows one should also install Atmel's free tools, AVR Studio. AVR Studio is an IDE but avr-gcc support from within is still early. ECROS Ice-cube at $40 is a very good JTAG-ICE. I find the $2.95 12" extension cable to be of great use. http://www.ecrostech.com/Products/AvrJtagIce/Intro.htm BDMicro MAVRIC boards are also very useful for prototyping: http://bdmicro.com/devtools/ -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.

so, ECROS Ice-cube + AVR studio will make me able to compile and debug (step through code)?

If you are using Windows then if you download and install WinAVR for avr-gcc, AVR Studio, and purchase the ECROS Ice-cube for $40 + $3 extension cable + shipping, then you will be able to edit, compile C code, download, and source-code debug on your AVR hardware. AVR Studio includes an assembler, but who would want to use that when a very good C compiler is free? You didn't say what AVR hardware you have or plan to have. Thats why I originally listed the BDMicro MAVRIC. The very low end AVR cpus do not have the JTAG debug capability and can not use the JTAG-ICE port which the Ice-cube relies on. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.

Me too. I prefer to write in assembler because it enables me to "think like an AVR". Zack On Tue, 13 Sep 2005, John Samperi wrote: > At 11:53 AM 13/09/2005, you wrote: > >AVR > >Studio includes an assembler, but who would want to use that > > Me :-) > > > Regards > > John Samperi > k

Yes - sort of. You can step through code but it can get difficult stepping anything that has interrupts. If you are not doing interrupt stuff then you should be fine. Also be aware you can only set 3 breakpoints.
