Hi

I have started to use a Mac for the first time. A sort of Geeky mid- life crisis thing I expect. Anyway, I want to gather some microcontroller development tools and decided to start with the AVR. I have used these in the past and like them a lot. I am charting my progress here:

I would be pathetically grateful if any of you could take a look and offer any words of encouragement or advice for using any of these tools on a Mac or links to other information that I might have missed. I have looked at pages like these:

http://www.ladyada.net/learn/avr/setup-mac.html
http://www.harbaum.org/till/macavr/index.shtml
http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~mseeman/resources/macmicro.html

And I have found the graphical programmer AVRFuses

http://www.vonnieda.org/software/avrfuses

which acts as a front end for avrdude.

So far, it has been a bit of a struggle to sort some stuff out. Seems I was spoiled badly by tools like AVR Studio, CodeVision and WinAVR.

I have a set of MacPorts portfiles for the relevant AVR toolchain packages in my subversion repository at http://svn.kc8apf.net/ Support. I also have some makefile rules in there that make building programs and programming AVRs much easier.
