  Project: WizAVRd

----------------



This project would create and distribute a free software Code Wizard that
would help a user to create a skeleton software project for the Atmel AVR
microcontroller. The Code Wizard would be a GUI based program that allows
users to graphically select items and features of the AVR microcontroller.
The Code Wizard would then generate C language code that is compiled by the
GCC toolset for the AVR target. [NOTE: The AVR GCC toolset comprises avr-libc
which is a project currently being hosted by Savannah.] The Code Wizard is
meant to complement the Free Software toolchain for the AVR target (GNU
Binutils, GCC, avr-libc, GDB, avrdude, simulavr).



Currently there is not any source code that has been created. There is
current interest to develop this project by 5 developers.



This project is intended to be simulataneously developed as cross-platform,
with equal performance targeted, especially on GNU/Linux.



The GUI platform has yet to be chosen, but there is interest in using one of:
Tcl/Tk, Python, wxWidgets (on SourceForge), or some other sufficiently
cross-platform GUI-enabled languages. Currently, the developers are leaning
towards Tcl/Tk as one of the developers has written some sample code.



The information about the various AVR devices that will be used by the Code
Wizard, will be stored in XML data files. This provides an open standard as
well as the possibility of sharing this data with other free software AVR
projects such as avrdude (which is also already hosted on Savannah).


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Unknown at this time.


Other Comments:
---------------
  Please note that a number of AVR related free software projects are already
hosted on Savannah: avr-libc, avrdude, simulavr, uisp, avrusb, freeice, and
the AVR "umbrella" project (avr).



I'm listed as an Admin on avr-libc and the AVR "umbrella" project, and listed
as a developer on avrdude. So I have had prior experience with running free
software projects on Savannah. Another admin/developer on those projects will
be joining this project as well.



This Code Wizard does not depend on any of the above-listed projects, but it
does complement them.



This project will also fall under the aegis of the AVR "umbrella" project.
