AVR-Chat

Hello All,

Has anyone seen the Podcasts from AVR?  If you have iTunes search for AVR television.  

They just released a new one today that discusses the new AVR32 Core.  

I thought it was kind of cool to put a face with Haakon Skar (those that have been around a long time may recognize the name as one of the Atmel people that answered support questions back in the early AVR days).

Thanks,
Dave Miller

You can see these at www.avrtv.com. The first one was a yawner, but
the second one is cool.

He mentioned the STK600, which will apply to the AVR and AVR32. I hope
they also roll in the ICD features of the Dragon, so we don't need 2
DEV boards.

I also saw on AVR Freaks that Digikey is offering a kit with both an
STK500 and a Dragon for $49 (AVRDEVKIT1-ND). And they have a different
bundle of an STK500 and JTAGICE2 for $149 (AVRDEVKIT2-ND)

Haven't seen the atmel video podcasts, hopefully they are better than 
the TI ones , which are seem mostly marketing bs.

Have you seen the avr32 networking board, which Atmel is selling
(when available in the next fortnight supposedly) for US$69 ?

Digikey gives an availability of the  04/13/2007  ATNGW100-ND KIT

Unfortunately thats not one of the flash chips avr32uc , on the board 
but not bad for the price.

Will be very interested to see the price of the EVK1100 board.

avr32gcc and avr32 studio(eclipse based) seen to work pretty well.
Avr32gcc plays nicely installed along side winavr.
Has to have cygwin installed though.

Nice thing is the jtag mark2 is supposed to work for the avr32's as well.

Came across a good offer at digikey
pack of an stk500 +jtagmark2 for US$150  AVRDEVKIT2-ND
(half the price of the jtag mark2 by itself)

Even though it says zero in stock, I was still able to order one.
