About AVR Studio & Win AVR
After release of AVRStudio4 there is possible to integrate AVR-GCC compiler in to it. As you know AVRstudio is a powerful tool which has assembler compiler- debugger, programmer, etc. Integration of AVR-GCC to it makes this tool much more powerful and more complete playground for developer. Plugin which is built in AVRStudio detects AVR-GCC compiler by it self, so you don’t have to bother how to tie them together. And here we go - full set of good tools comparable to commercial. Convenient user interface, automatic makefile generation, visual debugging by watching processors register, or even you can flash the chip.
