RE: [avr-gcc-list] Experimental WinAVR/avr-gcc update for

[Brian Cuthie]

So what is the relationship between Atmel and IAR? I mean I downloaded
the eval copy of IAR's product, and I was entirely unimpressed. I'd
probably like it more if the compiler integrated into the AVR Studio 4.

Maybe I'll just write a decent IDE for the AVR, since I haven't seen one
that I like yet.

Yes but what percentage of shipped AVRs run code that was compiled with
gcc vs. that with IAR? I'm willing to bet that less than 25% of all AVR
revenue comes from chips that run gcc. Once you're paying someone a
decent salary to code your product it isn't a large step to spend a few
thousand $ on tools. Guys like me (and probably quite a few of you) buy
only a handful of AVRs per year. Of course I wouldn't buy any if it
weren't for avr-gcc :-)

As sad as it us for us, it makes sense for Atmel to stay close to IAR.
