This file describes the implementation notes of the GNU C Compiler for
the ATMEL AVR micro controllers family.

The generated assembly code requires the GNU assembler (GAS).  This is
a part of the binutils package.
Patches against binutils-2.9.5.0.13 can be obtained from
http://home.overta.ru/users/denisc.  This site also has patches for
the GNU debugger (GDB).


GCC can be configured as a cross compiler for the AVR architectures
on the same system.  Use `configure --target=avr --enable-languages="c"'
to configure GCC.


Further installation notes and other useful information about AVR tools
can also be obtained from:

Mailing list, avr-gcc-list@avr.jpk.co.nz, exists to discuss related issues and
suggestions for further optimizations and improvements.
