AVR tools for Windows

!! Please find up-to-date information at the new BTnode site: www.btnode.ethz.ch !!

Downloads

Tool	Download file	Description
AVR-GCC package	winbtnodeavrgcc.zip	The (almost) complete avr-gcc development package for Windows. Contains the compiler, linker, make, and other useful tools.
cygwin dll	cygwin1.dll	This dll is needed by some of the tools in the avr-gcc package.
Doxygen	doxygen-1.2.18.windows.bin.zip	A tool for automatically documenting source code from include files (similar to javadoc). This tool is called from the makefiles.See http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/
Windows CVS	WinCvs120.zip	A graphical CVS frontend. Allows you to access the source repository for the BTnode system (where all the development happens). See http://www.wincvs.org/

Installation instructions

1) Download the files above. If you want to build (and possibly modify) the BTnode system software you need to download and install all tools (steps 1-6). If you are happy with the precompiled distribution, only follow steps 1-4.

2 extract winbtnodeavrgcc.zip to C:\Program Files\GNU directory.

3)save cygwin1.dll in C:\Program Files\GNU\avrcgg\bin.

4) Include C:\Program Files\GNU\avrcgg\bin in your system PATH: On the desktop right-klick "My Computer". In the "Advanced" card, choose "Environment Variables". Edit the system variable "Path" to include the directory. Note: there is a limitation on the PATH length (the number of characters the variable can have). Windows will not warn you but silently truncate PATH. So keep the PATH short. To be shure put C:\Program Files\GNU\avrcgg\bin first in the PATH. There seem to be more problems on XP than on 2K

5) unzip the contents of doxygen-1.2.18.windows.bin.zip to C:\Program Files\GNU\avrcgg\bin\.

6) Install WinCVS to any directory you like.

Done. You should be all set up.

Notes

To ISP-program the BTnode use AVRStudio.
