If you find yourself stuck on a problem which this document doesn't quite address, you may wish to post a message to the avr-gcc mailing list. Most of the developers of the AVR binutils and gcc ports in addition to the devleopers of avr-libc subscribe to the list, so you will usually be able ...

This can be achieved by compiling ... or AVR-LibC, then these libraries were generated without the requirement to avoid specific registers. Hence when you are using libraries from the distribution, you must make sure that none of the reserved registers is used in the generated binary. Also notice that global register variables can't be volatile, because only variables in memory can be volatile, and register variables are not located in memory. Back to FAQ ...

Back to FAQ Index. When performing low-level output work, which is a very central point in microcontroller programming, it is quite common that a particular bit needs to be set or cleared in some IO register. While the device documentation provides mnemonic names for the various bits in the IO registers, and the AVR device-specific IO definitions reflect these names in definitions for numerical constants, a way is needed to convert a bit number (usually within a byte register) into a byte value that can be assigned directly to the register.

In particular, any functions that ... within both standard and interrupt contexts, then undefined behaviour will result. See the FAQ for a more detailed discussion. The current AVR-LibC can be used with the most recent AVR GCC back to GCC 4.8....

We cannot provide a description for this page right now

AVR-LibC depends on GNU Binutils and GCC that should be built for the AVR target. We recommend to use the most recent versions of these tools.

Outside of an interrupt, the assignment ... FAQ entry. ... This routine gets called after a reset. It initializes the PWM and enables interrupts. ... The main loop of the program does nothing – all the work is done by the interrupt routine! The sleep_mode() puts the processor on sleep until the next interrupt, to conserve power. Of course, that probably won't be noticable as we are still driving a LED, it is merely mentioned here to demonstrate the basic principle. ... Early AVR devices saturate ...

Data types: char is 8 bits, int is 16 bits, long is 32 bits, long long is 64 bits, float and double are 32 bits (this is the only supported floating point format), pointers are 16 bits (function pointers are word addresses, to allow addressing the whole 128K program memory space on the ATmega devices with > 64 KB of flash ROM). There is a -mint8 option (see Options for the C compiler avr-gcc) to make int 8 bits, but that is not supported by avr-libc and violates C standards (int must be at least 16 bits).

Doxygen is required to build AVR-LibC documentation. ... Download version 1.9.6 and install. fig2dev is required to build graphics in the AVR-LibC documentation.

See the FAQ for a more detailed discussion. 1.3 Supported Devices The following is a list of AVR devices currently supported by the library. Note that actual support for some newer devices depends on the ability of the compiler/assembler to support these devices at library compile-time. megaAVR Devices: • atmega103 • atmega128 Generated on Wed Jul 25 09:38:10 2018 for avr-libc ...

Interrupt functions can get the usual names that are also available to C programs. The linker will then put them into the appropriate interrupt vector slots. Note that they must be declared .global in order to be acceptable for this purpose. This will only work if <avr/io.h> has been included.

System libraries are usually not passed by their explicit filename but rather using the -l option which uses an abbreviated form of the archive filename (see above).

There are different open source projects that provide a Standard C Library depending upon your system time, whether for a native compiler (GNU Libc), for some other embedded system (newlib), or for some versions of Linux (uCLibc). The open source AVR toolchain has its own Standard C Library ...
