Atmel releases Atmel Studio 6 beta, with support for SAM3 and SAM4 Cortex-M processor based MCUs, bug fixes, and other enhancements.
Atmel Studio 6 is the next progression in the AVRStudio 5.1 lineup, and is so named due to a new key feature; ARM device support. The AVR and ARM development teams have been collaborating to make a single development IDE which will support (at present) the AVR8, XMEGA, UC3, SAM3 and SAM4 series devices. Existing SAM-ICE debuggers and SAM evaluation kits are supported natively, and behave just as the existing AVR tools do. Also new in this beta release is a ARM-GCC toolchain, for native C/C++ development of ARM devices. The existing AVR Software Framework has been renamed Atmel Software Framework, and now includes preliminary SAM device support. A new "ASF Explorer" view in AS6 gives quick access to the API header, module documentation and dependencies of ASF modules included in an ASF application.
New version of AVR Software Framework (ASF), version 3.0 with more than 1000 example projects
Support for 300 Atmel MCUs
Integrated C++ compiler
QTouch® Composer touch application development tools as a replacement for the QTouch Studio
ASF explorer view to improve the ASF experience
