Could we add support for AVR microcontroller and arduino framework? #494

AVR represents a type of MCU, which is designed to have more IO modules, with internal ADC and DAC support, and multiple PWM support. It is a relatively "pure" controller. So, it is reasonable to have AVR support.

As for arduino, I think there are other more specialised plug-ins.

As for AVR, it is an 8 bit architecture with lots of problems (for example not being able to conveniently access const strings in C/C++). I would say it is already obsolete, I'm not sure it is worth the effort.

FWIW this was asked before here
