This is the C compiler we use to generate code for the AVR microprocessor from our C-language or Assembly code. It is based on the GNU GCC compiler, and works much the same way.

Avrlib is a C-language library of functions written by Pascal Stang that gives us high-level access to many of the AVR microcontroller's feautres. It includes support for lcd displays, timing, a/d conversion, buffered serial communication, etc. We have added some functionality to his release, including support for MIDI and Open Sound Control. We have also eliminated some of the components that are not likely to be used by people at CCRMA.

The AVRMini is an application/development board designed by Pascal Stang, that we use for class exercises and labs. It is very general-purpose and provides access to all the microcontroller's ports with headers. It allows us to rapidly prototype and test new applications for the AVR microcontroller. We are currently using AVRMini Version 3
