WINAVR -
WINAVR is a C Compiler for AVR microcontrollers. Run the installer if you
want to use C language for your AVR development. Documentation is included.
WinAVR will be automatically linked to AVR Studio.
Summary
The only software you need to install to start with are AVRStudio for code development,
WinAVR if you want to write in C and AVRISP for programming AVR devices on the
STK200 board. The other software and documentation is available if you need it.
AVRISP will be integrated into AVR Studio if AVRStudio is installed first.
The
Kanda installer does this by default.
Getting Started
AVRISP is the In System Programming software, AVRStudio is the development
environment and the STK300 board is the test platform. Most people prefer to connect
up the hardware and program some sample files on to the board using AVRISP, before
tackling writing code in AVRStudio. However, it is up to you.
There is also a book in Kanda AVR folder called Get Going with… AVR, another good
place to start.
The rest of this manual describes how to connect the hardware and use AVRISP. This is
followed by a description of the STK300 board and finally by a brief introduction to
AVRStudio.
The only software you need to start with is AVRISP and AVR Studio. The rest can be
used later if you want to experiment.
Connecting the hardware
Run Kanda AVR.exe from CD BEFORE connecting hardware
1) Connect the ISP dongle to the USB port on your PC. Windows should automatically
install the USB drivers. If it does not install correctly, please see troubleshooting
guide: C:\Program Files\Kanda AVR\AVRISP-U\ Troubleshooting USB Driver
Install.pdf
2) Connect the ISP lead to the dongle
3) Connect the 10-way ISP lead to the STK300 board – see diagram.
