+\section faq_tinyavr_c Is it really impossible to program the ATtinyXX in C?
+
+While some small AVRs are not directly supported by the C compiler
+since they do not have a RAM-based stack (and some do not even have
+RAM at all), it is possible anyway to use the general-purpose
+registers as a RAM replacement since they are mapped into the data
+memory region.
+
+Bruce D. Lightner wrote an excellent description of how to do this,
+and offers this together with a toolkit on his web page:
