This doesnРІР‚в„ўt mean that Mac and Linux users are at any unfair advantage. Windows users have been enjoyingР’В various awesome tools to help with their AVR development process like the Atmel Studio, Codevision AVR, WinAVR, IAR Embedded Workbench, etc. Setting up AVR-GCC Toolchain on Linux and Mac OS X
