Atmel Studio Download For Mac

 



for AVR® Development

If the Atmel ARM GNU Toolchain is installed by Atmel Studio installation, refer Atmel Studio documentation for more details. If the toolchain is installed separately using one of the (Windows, Linux, Mac) installers, upgrading is not. There's finally a good/fast way of installing all these tools under Mac OS X PPC or i386! First, download the OSX-AVR packge for PPC (older macs) or i386 (Intel macs, latest ones) from sourceforge. Run the OSX-AVR.mpkg.

CrossPack is a development environment for Atmel’s AVR® microcontrollers running on Apple’s Mac OS X, similar to AVR Studio on Windows. It consists of the GNU compiler suite, a C library for the AVR, the AVRDUDE uploader and several other useful tools.

Features

  • Does not depend on Xcode for building AVR code.
  • Runs on Mac OS X 10.6 and higher.
  • Supports 8 bit AVR microcontrollers including XMEGA devices.
  • Includes patches to gcc for new devices not yet supported by gcc's main distribution.
  • Includes gdb for debugging with simulavr and avarice.
  • You can create your own version of CrossPack AVR based on the build script available on github.com.

For a list of included software packages and versions see the Release Notes.

Getting Started

Since CrossPack consists of command line tools only (except the HTML manual which is linked to your Applications folder), you need to know some basic command names. So let’s demonstrate CrossPack with a trivial project, a blinking LED implemented on an ATMega8. This project is described in more detail in CrossPack’s manual.

The command avr-project creates a minimum firmware project which is configured for an ATMega8 with internal RC oscillator at 8 MHz. Now we have something to start with. We edit main.c and implement the blinking loop:

Now we compile the code and send it to the device:

Atmel Studio 7 Windows 10

That’s it. The LED should now blink. For a real project you should also edit Makefile to configure your uploader hardware (e.g. STK500, USBasp, AVR-Doper or similar), other source code modules, fuse options etc.
