Title: Please explain AVR tool chain
Post by: pomprocker on January 23, 2009, 05:58:58 PM

Tool chain is what its called right?

OK to start off, I have the AVRISPMKII USB programmer.

Here is a list of things that pop into my head, can you explain how they fit together?


AVR Studio - ide
WIN AVR - works with avr studio, not sure what it contains
AVRDude - can use to program
AVRLIB - libraries?
AVR-GCC - not sure
libusb - mkII driver
jungo - mkII driver
etc...

thanks!

Note: I somewhat know what they are but how they work together

Thats a great link thanks.

I guess what I'm really looking for is how to make AVR Studio, AVRDude, and Arduino IDE all work at the same time and be able to use the avrispmkII

You don't need AVRDude if you use AVR Studio :P

Yes I am aware of that, but the Arduino IDE uses avrdude which uses the libusb driver versus the jungo driver that avr studio uses for the mkII

right now the solution on the web is to uninstall one driver and install the other one when you switch back and forth between avr studio and avrdude/arduino ide
