AVR Studio 4 - Project Guide & Working

AVR studio is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) by ATMEL for developing applications based on 8-bit AVR microcontroller. Prior to installation of AVR Studio you have to install the compiler WinAVR. This will allow AVR Studio to detect the compiler

 Step 1 :
Open Software AVR Studio 4

Step 2 :
Click on New Project


Step 3 :
Click on AVR GCC
Write the project name
Select your project location.
Click on Next >>

Step 4 :
Click on AVR Simulator in left block and then select your controller (e.g.: ATmega16).
Click on finish button

Step 5 :
Write the code in main body area.
Save the project file.

Step 6 :
Go to BUILD -> Compile.
This will compile your code and generate error if any.
If there is any, rectify the code and Compile Again.
After Successful Compilation 
This will generate hex file of the code.
Use that Hex file to burn your microcontroller.

Where you will find Hex file?
Just go to the location which you selected at the starting. Open that folder you will find one more folder named Default. This is the default location of where the hex file is generated.
While working in real time if you want to change the code, make changes and build the file again. This will automatically update the previous hex file.

AVR First Program - LED Blink

This is a simple blinking LED program. We will look at basic structure and cover specifics about the syntax. First let’s talk about the files that surround the main document you created. These are called “includes” and they bring code into the main document. This code adds or augments the functionality of your code. Includes can be found in the WinAvr folder and in the current project folder.  This include is outside the project folder and uses the <> around the name #include <avr/io.h> Schematic  Program /*********************************************************** Program : LED Blink.
