Amanda I've done lots in this area. There is v.little. See: http://www.cesko.host.sk/IgorPlugUSB_RS232/IgorPlug-USB%20 (AVR)%20RS232_eng.htm linuxlab had lots of stuff, but not meat, just fluff <smile>. Also their link is dead. Worth searching for. I used an old RTL, the newer stuff is for munnie. Eventually decided that 2.6 is fast enough for my sample rates without RT. I had great success using the atmel tool set on linux. Built easily, gdb (minor hicups) but what a pleasure to run your embedded blackbox with gdb. You can see my latest-greatest at http://tigger.ws/vtigger/main.php?g2_itemId=3985 And detailed atmel building stuff if you want at http://tigger.ws/jam/index.html -> AVR Manual. You can have a set of build scripts if you want: mail me James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
