Is the AVR Studio for the ATMEL Mega 128 Microcontroller a free tool Set. I
am asking for the C development studio? Are they any retrictions?


Posted by harshit on January 27th, 2004


To add I am talking of the AVR Studio 3.5. It says on the site that it
supports assembly.
So does it support C and is it Free?
thanks

GCCAVR is free. Otherwise, there are a few very good low cost C compilers for
the AVR. Ours is one of them. Most commercial compilers have demo that you can
try for free.

AVR Studio has only the assembler integrated. With AVRStudio 4.08 it is
possible to debug C Code. You have to program in another environment, but
the resulting object File can be download into AVR Studios Simulator. When
using GCCs "extcoff" Format AVRStudio 4.08 is able to debug on the C-Leve,
e.g. you step through C Functions not assembly. Beware: AVRStudio versions
prior to 4.08 can not do this (They will only show you the assembler code
your compiler generated).

This is the only "free" solution I'm aware off.

Hi harshit!

Good idea is build cross-compiler for AVR from gcc source, but on Cygwin
enviroment (if You working on Windows) and editing avr-source in emacs
editor.
Advantages of using Cygwin? One enviroment - multiple target platforms
(actually I have crosses for avr, h8s and SH).

This is a lousy idea. ( must be a *nix guy that said that )

Just download from:
<http://www.avrfreaks.com/AVRGCC/index.php?PHPSESSID=27312dd38455a46995b43be7521c26 c2>

Install and just use it.

"your" compiler here must refer only to GCCAVR as AVR Studio can debug at C
source level, at least with ICCAVR and IAR generated code at C source level
since "forever."

I've been using gcc for an Hitachi processor. It works very well and
is well supported by the community. Is the AVR port good and is it
well supported?

Suggest you check with people on www.avrfreaks.net

Their forums are pretty active, and one of them is devoted to the AVR port of gcc.

yes the gcc port for avr is available . called avr-gcc.
its said to be good. and support is available for the large development
community

Well if the original question is how do I get a good cheap C
environment for Mega128 development?....

I think the best thing to do is to call your local IAR office with
your educational use proof to hand -80% or more discount to
educational users you see.

Also -remeber the Mega128 has a nifty JTAG debug port -IAR's tools for
example can set brakpoints from the editor window that follow through
right into the target Mega128

That's very misleading - the jtag port on the Megas has nothing whatsoever
to do with IAR. Every debugger software for the AVR which can use the jtag
ice (such as IAR's debugger, or the free standard AVR Studio, or the free
gdb/insight debugger, and most other AVR debuggers) will be able to use the
jtag debugging features such as breakpoints.

If you want to argue that IAR's debugger software is more powerful, or more
user-friendly, or whatever, then go ahead - I haven't used it on the AVR, so
I can't comment. But don't claim credit for features of the chip itself !

You forgot to mention here that you work for IAR, although to your great
credit you did so on other posts (which is how I know).
