Enhancements to the WinAVR MFile utility. (Complete device support!)

MFile

This is an update to the winAVR MFile meant to make my life with AVR on linux (and with AS6) a bit easier. I will eventually add some additional tools to facilitate:

• Creation of Makefiles using an existing AS6 project as a source.
• Creation of AS6 .cproj files to facilitate debugging
• Fuses
• Automated devicelist based generation using <avr/io.h>
• ???

Version

0.1...ish

Recipe

Unless you're really good with your editor's macros, and you need a new device list, simply skip to Installation.

Vim and AVR-GCC. For now, I'm (in vim) copying most of <avr/io.h> directly into the xmem.c, and then including every single device file, and collecting every single device tag (using some #undefs to keep the compile going).

Build xmem.c, piping stderr into a file. (Failure is success!)

avr-gcc -c xmem.c 2> output.txt

Note that the 2 is important!

Once that's done, some macros are executed in vim to remove the noise, leaving only #pragma messages, and #warnings (unsupported devices). Allowing a scrape of every supported device, and their external memory starting address, if there is one.

one more macro to make the device list, and place into mfile.tcl

Installation

Simply copy the new mfile.tcl over your old one.

License

Whatever MFile's licence is, I suppose.
