Atmel® Corporation, the renowned organization in designing and manufacturing of microcontrollers and advanced logic announced here today of the release of the AVR®32 Studio, that has been proficient in knotting together the intact tool-chain for code development for the AVR32 AP7 and UC3 families. It has been averred in this direction of the behalf o the Company that the AVR32 Studio in due course joins together with the AVR32 GNU toolchain that take account of GCC for building applications for AVR32.

Atmel, founded in 1984, is a renowned leader in the design and manufacture of microcontrollers, advanced logic, mixed-signal, nonvolatile memory and radio frequency (RF) components. The company through influencing one of the industry's broadest intellectual property (IP) technology portfolios, has been able to provide the electronics industry with complete system solutions. It is recorded as one of the minority elite new companies who are capable of incorporating dense nonvolatile memory, logic and analog functions on a single chip. The Atmel chips are manufactured through the usage of the most advanced wafer processes that includes BiCMOS, CMOS and Silicon Germanium (SiGe) technologies. It is also found to be concentrating on consumer, industrial, security, communications, computing and automotive markets.

It has come to the knowledge after a detailed study that the AVR32 Studio Integrated Development Environment incorporates a source code editor with syntax highlighting and support for the writing and debugging stand-alone and Linux® applications. In addition, it is dexterous in extensive control of all development tools, such as the STK®1000 development board, EVK1100/1101 evaluation kits, JTAGICE mkII emulator and AVR32 Network Gateway kit. It is moreover built on Eclipse™ that makes it possible for the addition of copious plug-ins for the extension of the functionality, in a better manner.

When the Director of Product Marketing for AVR and AVR32 development tools Odd Jostein Svendsli   was asked in this regard he said, "AVR32 Studio again proves Atmel's devotion to making powerful but easy to use development tools. Our main criteria when designing the AVR32 Studio has been making all controls intuitive and user friendly, while at the same time allowing the possibility for more advanced functionality.   An extensive on-line help system with many step by step tutorials further simplifies the process of getting started with the AVR32 Studio and the GNU tool-chain."
