Hey Joerg, I just wanted to say thank you for all your work on AVaRICE and AVRDUDE. It's people like you who make open source bearable, and useable on my Mac, for which I am ever grateful.
Keep up the great work! And if there's a place to donate to your efforts, please let me know. -- Rick > On Sep 22, 2015, at 12:01 , Joerg Wunsch <[email protected]> wrote: > > As Wiebe Cazemier wrote: > >> It is kind of unclear (to me) whether the new Atmel-ICE debugger >> ([2]) is supported by AvaRICE or not. > > Unfortunately not (not yet). > >> I would get a JTAGICE3 >> instead, but it's no longer available.
