Announcing WinAVR 20040720
WinAVR (pronounced "whenever") is a suite of executable, open source
software development tools for the Atmel AVR series of RISC
microprocessors hosted on the Windows platform. It includes the

Below is just a sample of what's new.
- GNU Binutils 2.15:
- New version.
- GCC 3.4.1:
- New version.
- This will emit DWARF2 debug information given the correct compiler switch.
The generated ELF file should be able to be debugged with Atmel's beta
version of it's ELF/DWARF parser for AVR Studio (You need to install this
specifically, as of AVR Studio 4.09 Build 338 it is not built in). Many
thanks to Atmel and Torleif Sandnes of Atmel in their help in building
this
feature, and to Jörg Wunsch for supplying a patch to help keep backwards
compatibility.
