An in-depth look at the 8-bit AVR architecture found in ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers
mainly from a software and programming point of view. Explore the AVR architecture using C and
assembly language in Microchip Studio (formerly Atmel Studio) with ATtiny microcontrollers.
Learn the details of how AVR microcontrollers work internally including the internal registers
and memory map of ATtiny devices. Program ATtiny microcontrollers using an Atmel-ICE programmer
debugger or use a cheap hobby programmer or even an Arduino Uno as a programmer. Most code
examples can be run using the Microchip Studio AVR simulator. Learn to write programs for
ATtiny microcontrollers in assembly language. See how assembly language is converted to machine
code instructions by the assembler program. Find out how programs written in the C programming
language end up as assembly language and finally as machine code instructions. Use the
Microchip Studio debugger in combination with a hardware USB programmer debugger to test
assembly and C language programs or use the Microchip Studio AVR simulator. DIP packaged
ATtiny microcontrollers are used in this volume for easy use on electronic breadboards
targeting mainly the ATtiny13(A) and ATtiny25 45 85. Learn about instruction timing and clocks
in AVR microcontrollers using ATtiny devices. Be on your way to becoming an AVR expert with
advanced debugging and programming skills.
