Re: [avr-gcc-list] Any SimulAVR or avrtest users out there?

[Peter LaDow]

I agree with Tristan.  I looked at simulavr a couple of years ago for
the project I was on to do some preliminary testing before I had
hardware available.  I got frustrated and gave up on that front.  So
instead we found something else to do until manufacturing had boards
available.
