RE: [avr-gcc-list] Rowley Complier Vs GCC

[Trampas]

Rowley's ARM compiler from what I understand is based on GCC but there AVR
and MSP430 is not and is their own design. Of course I could be wrong. 

I have been trying to port a simple AVR program to Rowley for some
comparison and I will say it does not use the same nomenclature as the
AVR-GCC.

So Rowley is an IDE for avr-GCC? Like Atman's IDE for avr-GCC?
Now if I read the web site correctly,  I suppose Rowley's IDE is a truly
amazing thing - since it is GBP 499 (USD$878) whereas Atman's IDE is USD$100
or less. Surely I am mistaken.

Rowley "is" avr-gcc. They just give a tested binary version for either Linux
or Windows,
integrated in their IDE. On their ARM version they also have a JTAG debugger
- not 
sure about the AVR version. For someone not used to command line compilers,
it is a 
good way to be able to use avr-gcc in an IDE.
