any idea to start with avr ?

I tried arduino in assembly language with crossworks and olimex avr-isp-iso
but it's a disaster, no debug, and the avr-isp-iso often fails....

I'm really happy with arm cortex m3 (olimex) / crossworks / seggers jlink edu

apparently crossworks works with crossconnect jtag on some board.

any idea on the board I should use ?

I'm rather lost :(

thanks

apparently avr dragon is not supporting some chip
and debugging is limited to chip with less than 32k flash...

I'm planning to use arduino uno / arduino mega...

I've seen this text several times on the web:

AVR Studio limits the Dragon to debugging the first 32k of code in a project. The most likely reason for this limitation is so it does not compete with the higher priced Atmel JTAG ICE mkII.

frankly avrdragon looks fantastic.

I feared the limitation....

I'm using crossworks (support avr dragon too)

thanks

I finally bought a avrdragon, works wonderfully with crossworks
and an arduino uno modified for debugwire.

thanks all
