Hi Kurte, Eddie,

Maybe it’s just the USB drive I used. I will go ahead and install WinAVR normally. Studio 4 wasn’t bad, as I recall. I did have some problems with one of the programmers, but I now have an STK500 which I know works with the chips. The portable version could have been useful, 'tho.

Thanks,

The short answer is yes. Yesterday I updated mine to the latest version, by downloading WinAVR-20080610-install.exe. I then ran the program and asked questions where I would like it, which I choose c:\winavr as to overwrite my previous installs. Once the install completes, I run the program “Programmer’s Notepad”, whic hI think there should be a link on your desktop. (If not, it should also create a directory in your start menu, which has program items for this as well as users manual and the like). Using the Programmer’s Notepad you can create or open projects and run the compiler and the like. Or as EddieB stated you can then install Avr Studio 4 and it should find your install and under it’s projects you can again use the build menu to build your program or the like.

You can also configure it to do the downloads to your board. In my more recent uses I used an jtagice MKII to download programs to a BDMicro Maveric 1B board (Atmega128). On other boards I used a serial connection to download. The nice part about using the JTAGICE is then you can run the debugger…

Ah! The normal version works! The “Portable” version wouldn’t even bring up the manual (tried to open up a DOS window).
