Title: AVR Studio 4 Problem
Post by: nda2230 on December 28, 2008, 06:50:40 PM

I get this problem with AVR Studio 4. It locks up and won't even close. I have uninstalled it and installed it again and it still does that. Also it gets the MFC error. I have gotten the latest version of AVR Studio 4 and it still does that.  ??? >:(

Note: I am running Windows Vista, is that why it's messing up.

Feedback appreciated.

I doubt anyone went through the trouble of making an C decompiler. You might have allot more luck finding and disassembler (that takes the HEX files and turns it into an ASM file). Writing an disassembler for a Harvard architecture would be very easy because there's no confusion betwen data and code but then again it's a bit of work.

Try googling for "AVR disassembler" and see where it gets you.

I loaded the software to my Windows XP machine and it worked fine. Windows Vista is not the OS to be using with this software.



Thanks anyway!

I believe he meant to say '.c files to .x files!!' :P

You actually don't need AVR Studio at all to use AVRs. Look at WinAVR. You can use gcc as a command line compiler, and AVR Dude to upload your code. You'll have to google up some tutorials.
