Requirements
The AVR Plugin requires Eclipse 3.3* (Europa) and CDT 4.0*.
If you do not have Eclipse or these versions go to the eclipse.org downloads page to download the required versions.
The Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers download package contains a suitable Eclipse IDE to get this Plugin to run. It also needs a Java Runtime 5 (or higher).
The plugin has been successfully tested under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X.
Furthermore you need the AVR-GCC toolchain for AVR cross target development. But like the CDT Plugin for Eclipse itself, the AVR Plugin does not include a toolchain, it has to be installed separatly before this plugin can be used.
If you don't have an AVR-GCC toolchain installed see "The AVR-GCC Toolchain" in the project wiki on what it is and where to get it.
* This plugin should work on newer versions, but this has not been tested yet.
