Why you need a clock source - Article on choosing and using a clock source for the Atmel AVR line of processors

Interfacing Parallel FRAM to AVR Microcontrollers - How to physically connect the parallel FRAM chips to the AVR line (or any micro with XRAM interface actually). Note that is is NOT supposed to be a tutorial on how to use FRAM, or an overview of the FRAM chip. There is a reason they make data-sheets ;-) This covers one topic: how do you get the FRAM working with the AVR, as there are some details you have to take care of you don't normally deal with using SRAM.

How to solder SMD for under $50 - Covers how to solder and desolder SMD parts (such as the AVR's for example), how to identify SMD parts, and prototyping with
AVR parts.
new: Note that apparently this guide has been translated into Chinese! I know nothing of this or who did it, but you can grab a copy here

WinAVR Install and Configure Guide - Covers installing and using the WinAVR distribution. The link takes you to the WinAVR entry, look down a few lines for a link to my article (edited by Eric Weddington). AVR parts.

Low Cost AVR Guide - The complete guide to getting started with the AVR Covers topics such as hooking up AVR, programming AVR, getting parts for AVR, and how to get started with no budget. Note that this guide has NOT been really officially released, nor will it ever be probably. Needs lots of editing and stuff...

Fix your STK500 Guide - How to fix your STK500. Covers replacing the AT90S8535 with a Mega8535 and the resulting firmware hack. Not sure about the status of this one - a lot of it is prerelease, but because of its nature it will probably never be an official guide. However I have been told it is very useful, as the AVR-ISP is pretty much exactly the same as the STK500's programming section so some of this information should be useful.

It's a SNAP - Issue 139 (Feb 2002) of Circuit Cellar - Covers using the SNAP protocol with AVR
