WinAVR - Setup Guide [UPDATE 2022]

WinAVR - Setup Guide [UPDATE 2022]

UPDATE: 2022 WINAVR   is (or was) a great project. Its most “recent” package is from 2010-01-20 . In other words, it is outdated . There are many projects that attempted to replace it but none of them (AFAIK) is extremely popular. We’ve put together a very detailed guide  on how to setup everything manually – AVR GCC Toolchain – Setup for Windows . This is a guide how to install, setup and use the WinAVR for programming the Tinusaur Board  and the ATtiny85 microcontrollers  in general as well as some sample programs and useful tips.
