As mentioned briefly in the previous section, AVR Studio, in combination with the STK500 and
JTAG ICE MkII, is a powerful tool for programming and debugging the AVR microcontroller
family in general.
Furthermore, Atmel provides cost-effective software support for the development of a LIN net-
work. These can easily be used together with the development board.
The first is a LIN1.3 ANSI C software library for the AVR microcontroller family in general. With
the help of this, the protocol handling of LIN slave nodes can be programmed. This library can
be downloaded at
ActiveX-components also provided by Atmel, can be used to create a simple PC-program for
emulating the LIN master node. These ActiveX-components are only available on request.
Using these software components, it is very easy to build up and to test a LIN network without
much (financial) effort.
Many OEMs demand that their suppliers use certified LIN protocol stacks from third party. To
meet this requirement there are LIN2.0 as well as LIN2.1 protocol stacks available for the
ATA6612 (Atmega88) as well as for the ATA6613 (Atmega168) from Mentor Graphics
tor Informatik, and from Warwick Control Technologies.
Warwick Control Technologies offers the NETGEN configuration and autocoder tool. For test-
ing purposes and to provide a quick start to using Atmel’s products, there is a limited but free
version available. This demo version is available at
For more information about the certified LIN stacks please contact the third party suppliers
directly.
