Textbook - email me for access instructions if you forget.

• Most recent: sar11 - Arithmetic, including multiplication and division

Processor related Data

• Atmel AVR Brings RISC to 8-Bit World
• Atmel ATMega16 Processor Product Card
• ATMega16 Complete Specs
• AVR Instruction Set
• AVR Studio (download version 4.13) (download local copy here)
  • WinAVR (Needed to compile C programs)
• AVR Assembler User Guide
• STK-500 Developer Board (purchase link at DigiKey - the documentation says the kit comes with the ATMEGA8515 which is a scaled back ATMEGA16 used in class - our STK500's came with both)
  • You will also need a power supply (12V 500ma). Digikey has this one. You will need to cut off the plug and attach the one that comes with the STK500 kit.
  • If you need a USB-to-Serial adapter, many do not work. The Cablemax product uses the FTDI chipset and appears to work well. Let me know if you find any others that work well.
• AVR Freaks

Sample programs

• Samples from CH 5
• Fibonacci example from class (Day) (Evening)
• Serial communication (Evening) (Day)
• Interrupts (Updated example for both classes)
• Evening octal to decimal converter
• Day Octal to Decimal converter

Miscellaneous Resources

• Zip Utilities
• Here is a quick overview of IEEE formats
• This are conversion utilities to convert from decimal and IEEE floating point codes or from IEEE to decimal along with some detailed specifications
• This, from the Microsoft Knowledge Base: INFO: Why Floating Point Numbers May Lose Precision
