WinAVR – Setup Guide

Posted on by Neven Boyanov

WinAVR is a great tool to do development for Atmel AVR micro-controllers on Microsoft Windows platform. It consists of all the necessary C/C++ compiler, linkers and other GCC tools that you need to write, build and program those micro-controllers.

WinAVR
WinAVR (pronounced “whenever”) is a suite of executable, open source software development tools for the Atmel AVR series of RISC microprocessors hosted on the Windows platform. It includes the GNU GCC compiler for C and C++.

Here we have put together very short guide how to setup and use WinAVR for programming the Attiny85 micro-controller and the Tinusaur Board in particular.

The guide was tested mostly under Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system.

The example source code was tested on ATtiny85 micro-controller installed on a Tinusaur project boards and programmed using USBasp ISP programmer.

Please go to WinAVR – Setup Guide page to read the entire document.

  2. Hi JD,
    I don’t own a Mac so I can’t write a guide for it.
    Next week I’ll be writing a guide how to program the Tinusaur with the Arduino IDE so that may work well on Mac OS too.
