ISP Programmer is a useful piece of software designed to support programming of Atmel microcontrollers 89Sxx ('51), ATtiny, ATmega and 90Sxx (AVR). It can erase built-in Flash and EEPROM memories as well as read and program them. ISP Programmer also supports serial Atmel DataFlash memories. Platforms: Windows

Ivmuk-OS is small RTOS for microcontrollers with low resources. Microchip's PIC16F877A MCU uses about 70 bytes of RAM and 800 bytes Flash. Memory usage depends on number of tasks and messages defined. This should create competition to Salvo OS some day. Features: - Tasks management. - Messages...

8-bit AVR microcontrollers are getting more and more popular chips for many proposal. They utilise the AVR RISC Architecture, have more than one hundred instructions, most of them executes at single clock cycle. They have also nice peripheral devices like 8/16 bit timer, analogue comparator, PWM,... Platforms: Windows, Mac, *nix, C/C++, BSD Solaris

Micro-IDE is a free C compiler for AVR microcontrollers, this compiler is intended to work with AVR micro controllers from ATMEL. The principle is to create assembler code from C code using micro-IDE studio and create assembler hex file to be loaded to the AVR chip using the free avr studio from... Platforms: Windows

Shortly, Pyastra is a python to assembler translator. It takes source file written in python and, if the code contains no errors, generates an assembler file. Then you may comile it to hex-file using your favourite PIC assembler (gpasm, mpasm, or any other compatible with them). Goals: . to... Platforms: Mac

Softgun is a an embedded system simulator. Softgun is known to run linux blob and u-boot for the ARM-9 processors Digi NS9750, Freescale i.MX21 and Atmel AT91RM9200. Also softgun can emulate the ATMega 644 based game console "Uzebox", the Renesas Microcontrollers M32C and R8C. Softgun was written... Platforms: *nix

AVR Libc is a Free Software project whose goal is to provide a high quality C library for use with GCC on Atmel AVR microcontrollers. Together, avr-binutils, avr-gcc, and avr-libc form the heart of the Free Software toolchain for the Atmel AVR microcontrollers. They are further accompanied by... Platforms: *nix

AVR-Ada aims to make the Ada part of gcc usable on AVR microcontrollers.. Platforms: *nix
