/** \page acks Acknowledgments
28
This document tries to tie together the labors of a large group of
29
people. Without these individuals' efforts, we wouldn't have a terrific,
30
<i><b>free</b></i> set of tools to develop AVR projects. We all owe thanks
33
- The GCC Team, which produced a very capable set of development tools for
34
an amazing number of platforms and processors.
36
- Denis Chertykov [ denisc@overta.ru ] for making the AVR-specific changes
39
- Denis Chertykov and Marek Michalkiewicz [ marekm@linux.org.pl ] for
40
developing the standard libraries and startup code for \b AVR-GCC.
42
- Uros Platise for developing the AVR programmer tool, \b uisp.
44
- Joerg Wunsch [ joerg@FreeBSD.ORG ] for adding all the AVR development
45
tools to the FreeBSD [ http://www.freebsd.org ] ports tree and for
46
providing the basics for the \ref demo_project "demo project".
48
- Brian Dean [ bsd@bsdhome.com ] for developing \b avrdude (an alternative
49
to <b>uisp</b>) and for contributing \ref using_avrprog "documentation"
50
which describes how to use it. \b Avrdude was previously called
53
- Eric Weddington [ eric@evcohs.com ] for maintaining the \b WinAVR
54
package and thus making the continued improvements to the
55
Opensource AVR toolchain available to many users.
57
- Rich Neswold for writing the original avr-tools document (which he
58
graciously allowed to be merged into this document) and his
59
improvements to the \ref demo_project "demo project".
61
- Theodore A. Roth for having been a long-time maintainer of
62
many of the tools (\b AVR-Libc, the AVR port of \b GDB, \b AVaRICE,
65
- All the people who currently maintain the tools, and/or
66
have submitted suggestions, patches and bug reports.
67
(See the AUTHORS files of the various tools.)
69
- And lastly, all the users who use the software. If nobody used the
70
software, we would probably not be very motivated to continue to develop
71
it. Keep those bug reports coming. ;-)
