Avr studio
AVR Studio is an IDE (integrated development environment) that is used in the application of both writing for and the debugging of AVR applications. The software runs through numerous Windows environments and versions of the software will also come with an assembler to compile programs and a simulator to run them on. By simplifying all the tools that are needed for development, it allows developers to work at a high efficiency rate through a simple interface and with a microprocessor that is known for its speed, thanks to the development of its RISC heritage. RISC (reduced instruction set computer – pronounced ‘risk’) is the simplified language of instruction that the AVR microprocessor utilizes. The basis of thinking behind the development of RISC is that less is more. The cleaner and more stripped back the language, the higher the speed of access and executable times of programs. Speed and efficiency are two main components of modern industry and with the development of the AVR from its humble beginnings as a Norwegian student project; it has grown in popularity with developers all across the world. This allows a rapid connection to the AVR microprocessor from your PC, without the necessity of having to pull apart your project. An AVR microprocessor is accessible through an In-Circuit System Programming interface, which allows the developer to connect directly to the chip without having to remove it away from any circuits that it may be attached to. This allows for efficient upgrades and reprogramming. With AVR Studio, you are able to manage your project effectively and can also hook up to other development kits and boards which may be in use with the AVR microprocessors, such as the AVR Butterfly, which is an evaluation module for the microprocessors. The popularity of the AVR comes with its configurability by both developers and home users. AVR Studio provides all of the tools that are needed to configure the AVR microprocessor to your own needs. An excellent I/O views gives full access to the core of the AVR, as well as being able to see and configure the onboard memory including SRAM, EEPROM and flash storage itself. With its drag and drop functions, AVR Studio is user friendly and easy to work with, and there is support for C, BASIC and Pascal assembly languages, so whatever you program in, you should readily be catered for. The AVR comes preloaded with numerous firmware options and functions, which will help you compile and use your own code to integrate with the power that it already possess onboard.
