Atmel releases AVR Studio 6 Beta
Learn about Atmel’s latest version of AVR Studio. The new version supports ARM based microcontrollers so the name was changed from AVR Studio to Atmel Studio.

Well, no Linux version…
What, I still havn’t moved to 5 yet.
@Torsten — AVRStudio4 runs pretty good in wine. A native linux build would be awesome though!
I’ve used AS5. Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that they can’t even get the bugs out of their videos.

Can we use this to program any other ARM7 mcus? like analog devices’ ADuC?
How can Atmel say it is so good if it don’t even support Linux?
Wake up Atmel…
Not of much use to me without Linux-support…
Its scary to look atmel doing the same thing with Atmega128 for example like did with AP7000 family… No support, no integration in AS6, only almost impossible ways to achieve a goal with olda 8 bits. Could i trust the new families UC3 and arms will be supported long enough, or a new blow from the market will bring danger to my future (and current) projects?
i have avr studio 6, 2 weeks ago and it ran smoothly,but now it is not working.it shows some debugging error ..don’t know wat to do.
I am trying to make the shift to AS6 but the projects I have written in AS4 while they compile ok they no longer run on the target board. same code everything.
If i compile back in AS4 all good and works. I am looking at all the options but can not see why this “upgrade” results in code that does not run, running out of ideas. Anyone have suggestion or has experienced this ?
Let me know when there is a Linux version of Atmel Studio. Until then you aren’t an option.
Not much use without a Linux Version
AS6 won’t ever run in Linux (or on Mac) – they changed the shell to use the Visual Studio 10 shell which doesn’t work in Wine due to it requiring some .Net components (Mono isn’t an option there).
So you need to use avr-gcc with Eclipse (works OK), but then you have no support for some Windows-only tools or have to move to another micro. It is strange that Atmel decides to go all proprietary like this again, especially when Microchip is releasing native Linux versions of their tools. Also ARM is a good option – the chips cost the same or even less than AVRs and are much more powerful, plus you have choice from many vendors.
If I need USB, networking or debugging capability, I am going with PIC or ARM these days, AVR just isn’t competitive on price and tool availability for hobbyist these days.
I’m looking for the next micro for a new product design and I was delighted to see Microchip supporting Linux with MPLAB-X. Finding out that Atmel Studio 6 does not support Linux eliminates Atmel products for me.
I am using atemel studio 6 in virtual box in linux. I will wait till they release native version for linux ,if they do not than arm or pic. Hope they do it for linux.
Atmel used to support Linux back in AVR32 times. I’d also apprechiate when they do so again and natively, because the Lunux user base is growing. Why do companies like Atmel only rely on MS Windows OS for their software?
Need it for Linux, when???
