#135466 - I suggest Imagecraft C compiler
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Erik,


Does anyone know of a compiler for the AVR that
a) is without known bugs for the assemble, compile and link - I do not give a hoot about the rest.
b) where the maker respond fast to bug reports
c) is commandline operable
e) you are NOT supposed to fix bugs yourself


From a lot of searching on the the net, I have read that the IAR C compiler for the AVR's are the best, but I tried downloading their demo versions, and they seem to have a lot of problems with their copy protection schemes, and I could not make it work, here is the link: http://www.iar.com

Keep far away from AVR-GCC(WinAVR), this is my personal opinion even though they are supposed to be the next best(according to the internet),they are very non-standard for emebeded C probably they are strictly following ANSI C.(too strict I suppose)

Codevision AVR, http://www.hpinfotech.ro/ will help you to quickly find various register setting bits with their application builder.

Imagecraft C complier for AVR, http://www.imagecraft.com will help to port to your Keil code quickly, and from what I read from the internet, they have the best support.

Both Codevison AVR and Imagecraft have excellent value for money.

Except IAR I have worked with the rest for several days and my suggestion will be, start with Imagecraft C compiler, I think this is the best for your present situation.

If you need to compress the code further, then you can purchase the much more expensive IAR compiler.


d) fit the AVR emulation thingies AVR JTAGICE mkII?


Dowload the AVR studio from here:

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/produ...ol_id=2725

This is really cool.

For additional help on the AVR's this site is supposed to be the best:

John.

      OH NO            01/01/70 00:00      
         Well, at least you do have the opportunity            01/01/70 00:00

      used avr-gcc in the year 2000 and            01/01/70 00:00      
   Time to eat your words!            01/01/70 00:00      
      not really            01/01/70 00:00      
   you can save a lot of time if you create            01/01/70 00:00      
      very helpful, thanks            01/01/70 00:00

            What bugs???            01/01/70 00:00      
            I suggest Imagecraft C compiler            01/01/70 00:00      
               Ive found that gcc produces fast code and its free            01/01/70 00:00      
                  Worthless statistics            01/01/70 00:00      
                     the issue here is            01/01/70 00:00      
                        if I understand it right...            01/01/70 00:00      
                           Not so strange?            01/01/70 00:00      
                              this is slightly different            01/01/70 00:00      
               GCC - over-strict ANSI?            01/01/70 00:00      
            CodeVision AVR            01/01/70 00:00      
               CodeVision - no Linker?            01/01/70 00:00      
                  No linker            01/01/70 00:00      
                     pray tell            01/01/70 00:00      
                        IAR            01/01/70 00:00      
                           sounds par for the course            01/01/70 00:00      
                     No linker with CodeVision AVR            01/01/70 00:00      
                        Both '51 and AVR at the same time?            01/01/70 00:00      
                           yes and no            01/01/70 00:00

                              questions, misunderstandings, answers            01/01/70 00:00      
                                 so you have the solution?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                    it's IAR            01/01/70 00:00      
                                       Just for the AVR...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                          I do not know, I did not ask            01/01/70 00:00      
                                             some snippets on AVRs...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                interesting, evidently they have taken upon themse            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                   your link was broken            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                      But what about 1 instead of I?            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                         this is not about mistypes, it is about missing            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                            apparently, Atmel admits it...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               so where is the 51freaks equivalent            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                                  the "confirmation" is apparently...            01/01/70 00:00      
                                                               you just have to accept eric doesnt like atmel            01/01/70 00:00

                  using avrstudio and gcc generated .coff files            01/01/70 00:00      
   well, the whole story seems to be not            01/01/70 00:00      
      My experience            01/01/70 00:00      
   just a few words            01/01/70 00:00
