Apparently also included in that belief system is that everyone works in C.

I pretty much gave up on AVR development with their tools, after
hitting a wall with them last fall.
Basically, something like this:

R16=0 at this point
ldi r16,$AA
R16 still = 0

Plus other more entertaining problems.
It's across the board for me, multiple computers, multiple ICEs,
ICE-50, Jtag-ice, even the MkII.
Multiple chips, M128, M8...

Just thinking about it raises my BP again.

The CHIPS are fine, but the tools blow.
