8 years ago It depends on what you mean with "official", because there is the "official" upstream avr-gcc http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/ and various different patched release around. The most valuable "patched" version is the one made by Atmel, in fact our current release tracks the Atmel-AVR-GNU-Toolchain 3.4.5, the patching that you see are the diffs between the upstream avr-gcc and the Atmel patched gcc.
In other words what the build script does is:
- Download gcc tarballs (and other tools as well) from upstream development site
- Apply patches (to make it equal to Atmel release)
- Build
Since Atmel is out with 3.5.0 we can now consider upgrading the toolchains to this release.
Been playing, And was wondering if it would help to use some of the more "Official" versions of avr-binutils, avr-gcc and avr-gdb along with adding atleast ncurses ??
Like from: http://distribute.atmel.no/tools/opensource/Atmel-AVR-GNU-Toolchain/3.5.0/
Or is there something that all the patching is doing special ??
