Anyone have experience with the Atmel 32-bit UC microcontrollers? Can they be programmed with the AVR Dragon? Also, do third-party, cheaper, alternative programmers exist?

Thanks.

Yes, see: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_devices.asp?category_id=163&family_id=607&subfamily_

Just programmers yes, I don't know about ones with on-chip debugging. Also: you want on-chip debugging.

$50 seems like an awful lot, though...
Is OCD really that important? Haven't used it in all the uC's I've used up to now.

How have you been handling debugging?

Same way I debug desktop programs: Have printf() over serial and debug, shotgun style.

What changes? I can step through programs and see the values of all the variables?

Yep. Also: profile your code, set registers on the fly, etc.

I dunno... A programmer ~$20 still sounds nice...

Do you have any experience with the UC3 itself? Is it easy enough to use?

>> No.11672

>>11606
Up to you.

>>11617
I do not. I can't imagine they'd be that much more difficult than other 32-bit chips.

Ok, thanks for the help.
