Creating a sample AVR C File

Once a project has been created you can start adding C source files to it. For this tutorial we add a very simple programm, that actually does nothing, but is compatible with all AVR series processors.

To create the file:

In the Project Explorer view, right-click the AVRtest project folder, and select New > Source File.
In the Source File field, type main.c.
Click Finish.

Type the code in the editor. (or copy and paste it from here)

int main(void)
{
    while (1)
    {
        __asm__ volatile("nop");		// so the endless loop isn't optimized away
    }

    return (1);	// should never happen
}

Click File > Save.

The file is now ready for building.
