I don't know. Believe the Atmel tools have CLI interfaces as well as  
GUI but haven't used the CLI.

As for the debugger, I configure for JTAG and upload/debug from that  
interface only.

At the moment none of my AVR gear is set up. Have spent the past  
several months in address@hidden& Visual Studio 2008 Express.  Actually VS isn't  
all that bad but for the Windows part. Have remained sane by using the  
C++ compiler in C mode, with a CLI on my application.   :-)
