Programming microcontrollers and the all the other development related activities that are to be expected when handling a very specific kind of devices will certainly need a specialized toolkit. RISC microprocessors that are utilized by devices of the Atmel AVR type are a good example, even if this may be little or even not at all familiar to the vast majority of users.

Nonetheless, those who are interested, studying or actually working in this particular area, might have come across WinAVR, the package that is especially designed for Atmel AVR processors. There are many components included in this collection of tools, most of them runnable via command-line, but each having a precise task to carry out.

After the setup of this bundle is complete, you will be able to get acquainted with all the utilities and libraries that were installed onto your system. The first step would be to consult the documentation that accompanies the toolset and which can shed some light on the intricacies of using each piece of kit.

WinAVR is fully equipped with everything starting from C libraries, compilers and assemblers, including a debugging solution, as well as simulation and emulation programs. In case you opted to have it put onto your system during the installation procedure, Programmer's Notepad will also be present and you can make the most out of its programming editor and Integrated Development Environment (IDE) capabilities.

All things considered, it's safe to say that WinAVR is certainly a must-have for all those involved in the programming of Atmel AVR microcontrollers. Clearly a toolkit for professionals, this utilities package will surely be appreciated by those with experience in this field of development.
