Re: [avr-gcc-list] coff files in avr studio, continued

[v . sluiter]

Hello all,

I'm happy I found someone with the same prioblem, I igured it might be
something with my PC... I'm using the avrfreaks version and AVR Studio 3.52, 
for a
program on a AT90S8535. I have problems with avr-studio crashing sometimes
(no particular reason I could find), and an offset in the line numbers of my C
code when I'm debugging. AVR Studio works fine in simulating, all the code
is simulated correctly in the I/O view, but the C-code view is totally
wrong....
If anyone knows what is going on...... Would be great! by the way, a
colleague of mine uses the avrfreaks distribution for ATMega323, and AVRStudio 
3.52
without any problems.

Greetings, Victor
