Welcome to use Arduino-Lite, the light-weight and efficient arduino-variant runtime library for AVR based devices.
Arduino-Lite is based on the work of Arduino Project: www.arduino.cc
This library is orignally used by RoboPeak team (www.robopeak.com) and we are proud of releasing it to the public.
Project website: http://code.google.com/p/arduino-lite
RoboPeak Prject: http://www.robopeak.com
First Use:
If it is the first time for this lib to run on the machine (checked-out from the SVN, extracted from the downloaded package file), please follow these steps:
a. make sure the current platform is supported (see Support Platforms)
c. execute the batch file: buildenv.cmd under the source root
This script will extract the WinAVR automatically and configure the working envirnoment.
b. you are ready to use Arduino-Lite after the script exit
Arduino-Lite is self-contained, which means you don't need to install/download any extra software/lib before (Yes, Arduino-lite also includes WINAVR for you).
Supported Platforms:
The source code shoud work on all platforms (Linux, MacOS, Win32) but the build system only supports Win32 currently.
We had verified the following Windows versions:
<> Windows XP 32bit
<> Windows Vista 32bit and 64bit
<> Windows 7 32bit and 64bit
Create New Project
Arduino-Lite Project can be created via the template file under /sketch/template.zip
To create your own project:
1) extract the template.zip under the folder /sketch
2) make sure the extracted folder is like the following:
/sketch/template/build.cmd
3) rename the dir template to any name you like, e.g. helloAVR
4) You have done.
---------------------------
Compile a Project
---------------------------
1) enter the project folder (e.g. helloAVR), execute the batch file launchsh.cmd
2) type make
3) If there is no error during the building phase, you will get the hex/elf file under /build/

Besides, you may check RoboPeak website(http://www.robopeak.com) for additional tips. (some articles may written in Chinese only)
As Arduino-Lite are similar to the offical Arduino library, you will find most function calls are alike. So the offical Arduino referece document is helpful.
