AVR fuse programmer for OS X

For anyone who works with AVR 8 bit microcontrollers, the programming software used is an important part of the development process. Atmel provides AVR Studio 4, which operates on the Windows operating system, but does not

Low cost USB interfaces for AVR microcontrollers

While there are many chips available for interfacing USB to microcontrollers, most of them involve some costs in both development and component count.

Two low cost alternatives to interfacing ATmega microcontrollers to USB are AVR-USB from Objective Development, and the range of USB interface chips from FTDI Chip.

Notes on converting AVR IAR style code to AVR-GCC style code

The previous entry Notes on AVR interrupt grew to larger than expected, so now this entry covers other problem areas and their possible solutions. This included compiling a complete new toolchain. (device ATtiny13)
