## Welcome to CrossStudio for the Atmel AVR!

CrossStudio for AVR is a streamlined integrated development environment for building, testing, and deploying AVR applications.

CrossStudio provides:

- Source Code Editor A powerful source code editor with multi-level undo and redo, makes editing your code a breeze.
- Project System A complete project system organises your source code and build rules.
- Build System With a single key press you can build all your applications in a solution, ready for them to be loaded onto a developer card or into the debugger.
- AVR Core Simulator The simulator mimics the behaviour of the core AVR CPU, so you can test your applications without hardware.
- AVR Flash Programming You can dowload your applications by programming them into the AVR's flash using the Rowley CrossConnect for AVR or the Atmel JTAG ICE (or compatible).
- AVR Hardware Debug With the CrossConnect or JTAG ICE attached, you can use the integrated debugger to step through and diagnose problems in your software on your target board.
- Integrated Debugger The debugger will help you to quickly find problems in your applications using either the simulator, the CrossConnect, or the JTAG ICE.
- Integrated Help system The built-in help system provides context-sensitive help and a complete reference to the CrossStudio IDE and tools.
