An AVR project can entail any number
of things; such is the versatility of the AVR architecture in its micro
controllers. The technology itself started life as a project by two
Norwegian students, which was then picked up by Atmel, who pushed ahead
with the development of the new and improved structure in the
programming of micro controllers. The technology took advantage of
flash memory, being one of the first to utilize that format for storage
of programs as well as the processing of executable instructions. The
power was borne in the simplicity of the architecture of the 8-bit RISC
(reduced instruction set computer) single chip micro controller.
AVR does not stand for anything, and it is not an acronym, but it has
been referred to affectionately as Alf and Vegard's RISC, which is
after the names of the two developers at Atmel who were dedicated to
the project. The AVR project saw the technology advance its usage with
flash memory, which was used to efficiently store program. This was in
contrast to other such micro controllers who were still using the likes
of ROM and EEPROM. With the ability to utilize the flash, it allowed
for different types of memory to be used on the micro controller, so
the flash got integrated with EEPROM and SRAM. By |
