RE: [avr-libc-dev] Working with Atmega162 and STK500

Thanks for the info Bernard!

But here's my problem:

I tried compiling my code for target atmega162 with the avrgcc
(avrgcc20011121a.exe) and it says that the device is not supported (while
atmega161 and atmega163) are supported. Is it okay if I compile for target
atmega161 and but then download it on the atmega162 since there is not much
difference in the hardware specs between the two chips?

Also, WinAVR 3.4.1 seems to work for the target but then avr-objcopy
gives me an
error saying "Invalid bfd target". Is there any way to get this working?

I have to use Windows for this project since it's a requirement and
Linux is not
supported. Trust me, I lean the other way as well (btw, I prefer Vi :))..
