Atmel rolled out a new, fully integrated platform of development tools for its community of over 100 000 users of 8- and 32-bit AVR embedded microcontrollers (MCUs). The new AVR Studio 5 is an enhanced version of the company’s integrated development environment (IDE) with support for all 8- and 32-bit AVR MCUs, enabling seamless migration between the two.
AVR Studio 5 makes editing and debugging source code easier by bringing together an editor with assisted code writing, a wizard for quickly creating new projects, an AVR Software Framework source code library, a GNU C/C++ compiler, a powerful simulator and a front-end visualiser for all of Atmel’s AVR programmers and in-circuit debuggers. AVR Studio 5 combines the best features of the current 8-bit AVR Studio 4 and 32-bit AVR32 Studio into one environment that covers all 8- and 32-bit AVR MCUs. It also gives the user easy access to online documentation including device datasheets, tools user guides, example project documentation and kit shopping directly from the Atmel Online Store. The new IDE further provides an integrated offering of third party plug-ins for embedded development tools.
Integrated in AVR Studio 5.0 is the AVR Software Framework, a source code library for 8-bit AVR XMEGA and 32-bit AVR UC3 MCUs with over 400 complete application examples and a full set of drivers for on-chip peripherals and external components, wired and wireless communication stacks, audio decoding, graphics rendering, and fixed and floating point math libraries. The code in this framework allows designers to accelerate the development of new applications by eliminating the need to write up to 50% of the low-level source code in a project.
