Re: [Avr-libc-corelib] Still alive?

[Frédéric Nadeau]

I'm still working on the idea of having per device driver library.
Unfortunately, I did not have lot of time lately. The projects I'm
working on require multiple AVR devices(from ATtiny to ATmega), we use
http://code.google.com/p/avr-drv/ which currently works well for ADC,
CAN and TimerCounter0. Don't pay mutch attention to usart and spi
module.

Once our projects are finished, which should be around september, I'll
be glad to discuss the API and find means to adapt it to more cases. I
would have like to discussed it more, but seeing the time the SPI API
took, well we had to move forward to meet our deadline.

It would be nice indeed to know if Atmel is planning on having the ASF
ported to AVR devices. But there are few things I don't like in the
ASF AVR32 framework, like the fact that the USART append a '\n' when
you send a '\r'... kinda not cool when sending binary format. At least
we have access to the source code to fix it.
