2.2.1 Getting the Software

The main website to get the Windows port of the tool chain is http://www.avrfreaks.net. Click on the ``AVR GCC'' tab, then click on ``Download it HERE'' after the content list. This brings you to another site. Scroll down until you find the ``Latest File Releases'', then click on ``Download'' on the row of WinAVR. This brings to another page. Scroll down, and download the file ending with ``bin-install.exe''. You may want to save the executable in case you need to reinstall WinAVR. Then, you can select a host that is close to you and click on the icon with lots of 0s and 1s.

Now, click ``Back'' on the browser and go all the way back to the ``AVR GCC'' page at www.avrfreaks.net. Be sure to download and save the document written by Colin O'Flynn about installing and configuring WinAVR.

Go to http://www.avrfreaks.net/Tools/showtools.php?ToolID=258 and download AVR Studio 4.08. This version works well with the WinAVR tool set.
