I just discovered that you can build GCC for many Atmel processors (and<br>
I succeeded in doing so), so I'm thinking it might be time to dip a toe<br>
in that murky pool. </blockquote><div><br>Actually, in many cases you don't even need to build it -- on most linux distros, it is readily available for installation. For instance, on Ubuntu/Debian it is a available in the gcc-avr package. I believe there is also a readily available installer for both OSX and Windows. Not that there's anything wrong with building it yourself -- I just prefer to save my CPU cycles (and CPU fan noise) for other tasks. <br>
