Time to dump AS4 gentlemen.
Why? AS4 does all I need to do and more, I don't need the headaches of learning another package.
hmmm if I retire early enough I never have to dl AS5 of ASF.... |

If you have Greasemonkey or another similar UserScript browser extension installed, this tiny script I wrote:
Code:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Atmel Website Registration Redirecter
// @namespace atmel.website.redirect
// @description Removes mandatory registration requirement for the Atmel.com website.
// @include http://www.atmel.com/forms/software_download.asp?*
// ==/UserScript==
(function() {
window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(/software_download\.asp/, 'software_download_splash\.asp');
})();
Will perform the automatic bypass for you. Much easier than having to fill out bogus data every time.

| You know your bosses won't like you teaching us these tricks? BTW - finally downloaded now taking like forever to install... later. |

Yup, so I'm doing it now before I'm officially an employee. Frankly I think I'm doing them a favor; those who don't want to register will either be turned away (lost sales) or just put in bogus data (I know I used to do this). With enough people putting in bad data the entire database would be worthless, which means there's no point having it in the first place.

Well I don't really think you have worry when you tell us something on AVRFreaks because it is a sure bet that nobody important in Atmel even realizes the place is still running. I bet one day in the distant future someone will run across a computer in the back of a broom closet and notice that it is plugged in and running. Nobody will know what it is for, so they'll pull the plug and AVRFreaks will go poof.
Oh, and after all that ASF update - nothing for the ATmega. Oh well.

| Now the new download registration process makes Dean's script useless...I don't see the point in asking such infos if it is not to make it possible for us to re-use them (aka registration on TI)? Well I might not be wise enough... |

Smash your keyboard or choose a competitor's products?

(Or do like I used to do, and poison the marketing database with junk information instead) |

| An advantage of the integrated LCD driver is power consumption. This is important for battery operated devices. The Butterfly can run for several years on a coin cell. |

The current project-of-the-day on my plate, involving an ATxmega128A1, actually uses 6 of the 8 USARTs, all 4 DMA channels, most (maybe all -- I'd have to check) of the 16-bit timers, 2 separate chip selects on the EBI (one for an SRAM and another for a memory-mapped CPLD), both of the DACs, and at least 5 of the event system channels.
I'm curious... what sort of project requires lots of UARTS, external RAM, etc without a corresponding increase in processor grunt?

A Protocol converter (NMEA to ...)
An industrial controller , talking to several sources.
I have quite a few uses , and remember the Uart (atleast on Megas) can do buffered SPI.

I know I sound like an AVR marketing shill and/or noob, but I thought one of the advantages of the AVR architecture is that it can do all that stuff with much less CPU overhead than other architectures. |
