The book Explore ATtiny Microcontrollers using C and Assembly Language (Warwick A. Smith, Elektor 2021) provides an in-depth look at the 8-bit AVR architecture found in ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers, mainly from a software and programming point of view. It is a great way to explore the AVR architecture using C and assembly language in Microchip Studio.
Principles learned on the ATtiny also apply to higher end AVR MCUs — for example, the ATmega series as found on the Arduino UNO. These devices are basically extensions of the ATtiny range that add enhancements, processing power and memory.
In the following video, Asma looks through the book.
"This book provides an in-depth look at the 8-bit AVR architecture found in ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers mainly from a software and programming point of view," she explains. "You will learn how to install Microchip Studio, how to build an ATtiny microcontroller circuit, and how to write a simple program."
Microchip's ATtiny MCUs
The ATtiny microcontrollers from Microchip are very useful and cheap devices that can be used in many small electronics projects. By initially targeting these relatively simple devices, learning the AVR architecture is made easy.Principles learned on the ATtiny also apply to higher end AVR MCUs — for example, the ATmega series as found on the Arduino UNO.
