There is a new Atmel AVR 8-bit Toolchain 3.3.0 (Atmel's "replacement" for WinAVR).
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resourc...

The changelog doesn't say too much, basically just new devices (XMegas mostly) I am not really interested in.

And the reality appears to confirm this - no bugs appears to be fixed (maybe the delay.h? I am not interested in that one, sorry), including the apparently badly configured build problem which results in incorrect startup code for the ATMega256x https://www.avrfreaks.net/index.p... , which appears to be a purely AS5/Toolchain error.

The legalese text in the documentation is unchanged from my last rant https://www.avrfreaks.net/index.p... ; I'd like to hear a genuine lawyer's take on this.

The installer still overwrites the path without asking, and it also reinstalled the old installation without giving me options (only if I rerun the installator, it gives me the option to install the 32-bit toolchain under "modify").

PS. Moderator please move this to AS5 forum if you find it is more relevant there, thanks.

@Atmel

Is the patches included in the extracted version ?
I can't extract it on my Ubuntu , to check.

Or do you have an url for the patches ?

This url seems to contain an old version : http://distribute.atmel.no/tools...
avr_8_gnu_toolchain_version=${AVR_8_GNU_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION:-"3.2.0"}

Does anyone else get the error:

undefined reference to `__strlen_P'

When trying to use strlen_P() as a result of this update? This project used to compile fine, but now it fails for that reason. Looking around online it seems it was a result of an avr-libc update, but apparently the patch wasn't correctly applied or something to the toolchain release.

The double-underscore in __strlen_P() is result of my suggestion https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs... , but I am convinced Atmel did not properly check out the current avr-libc sources, including http://svn.sv.gnu.org/viewvc/tru...

If you insist on using this version of "Toolchain" then go to , remove the strlen_P() macro and rename the prototype.

Jan,

Bug report is filed with the Toolchain team (courtesy AVR Apps team, thanks Apps!) and is being investigated now. Hopefully we'll be able to get a speedy 3.0.1 version or something soon.

Will we see any cut heads? ;-)

Meantime they might want to fix also https://www.avrfreaks.net/index.p... , that's their fault, too, and persists from the previous version of "Toolchain".

They might've also invented a real name for it.
