AVR Plugin for Eclipse / News: Recent posts

Release Notes? If you really want to know: do a "git log". From the top of my head:

• bug fixes (issue #25)
• tested with Eclipse Kepler

The 2.4.1 beta has been hanging around for a while and seems to be working alright. So what's the point in waiting? Well, one reason it took so long is that I don't know what the release procedure should be. There is no documentation about it. All I have is a Maven command (mvn clean install) and that results in a subdirectory with some JARs. The problem however is that the directory contents of the current updatesite is totally different from what my Maven command produces.... read more

The AVR Eclipse Plugin version 2.3.0 had a nasty bug that could cause the Plugin to fail completely (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Exceptions)

This bug has been fixed with 2.3.1

If you are using 2.3.0 you only need to upgrade to 2.3.1 if you are seeing these Java exceptions.

The AVR Eclipse Plugin adds support for the avr-gcc toolchain to the Eclipse IDE. With this plugin you can develop and deploy applications for the Atmel AVR series of 8-bit embedded processors.

It is platform independent and is known to work with Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.

To improve the support for the AVR Eclipse Plugin, a maillist has been established and a Wiki has been created.

Both are open to anyone (not just SourceForge members)

To subscribe to the maillist (or take a look at the - currently almost empty - archive, go to
https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/avr-eclipse-user

The wiki can be found here

It is far from complete, but maybe you can find some useful information already.

AVR-Eclipse is a pair of plugins for the Eclipse IDE which adds toolchain support, through CDT, for the gcc compiler for the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers, and adds a toolbar button to allow quick download of produced code to a target device.

This is an intermediate release with both bug fixes and new features.

While I still need to work on the documentation I have uploaded a beta version of the upcoming 2.1 release. While the avrdude support is still missing (will be in 2.2), the 2.1 release adds C++ support, an improved path management and numerous smaller changes.

For details see the changelog at https://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=189165&release_id=573812

The AVR Eclipse Plugin provides some tools and settings for developing C programs for the ATMEL AVR series of embedded processors with the Eclipse IDE.

The new version 2.0.0 is a complete rewrite of the previous version.

New Features and major changes:

• Setting of target MCU Type and Clock Frequency (once per build configuration)

• Debug and Release build Configurations

• Application and Static Library build types (static lib not tested yet)

• Builds hex, eep and lss files (user selectable)

• Assembler integrated into toolchain

• A new viewer to show some information about AVR processors

• Basic documentation incl. a small tutorial on how to create a AVR application project

The recommended way to download the plugin is via the Eclipse update manager.
See http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/index.html#download on how to set this up.

As an alternative the plugin can also be downloaded as a zip file for manual installation in your Eclipse Directory.

AVR Plugins for Eclipse adds a project type to the Eclipse CDT Managed Build environment for working with the Atmel AVR series of microcontrollers.

This release adds support for all devices listed in current avr-libc and avrdude documentation. Also, the avrdude plugin gains a preference to enable or disable the fuse safe mode feature. Otherwise, everything is functionally the same.

Everything is in subversion now, the readme has been updated, and the first release is available in the downloads section, so everything should be there for anyone wanting to either just use the plugins or to contribute to their development.
