fungus:
PS: I still think trying to support every Atmel chip isn't a very practical goal. There's simply too many variants. The "Tools->Board" menu wouldn't fit on screen.
aha! not true! the 1.5.x ide has cascading menus to solve that very point, which is the subject of another thread I have. while agree that supporting ALL is impractical, im only after the families that I have in my toybox, ie x4, x5, x313, x61 and a couple of others.
BTW gents, in fungus' defence, I think his comments were a) fairly off the cuff b) Unlikely to mislead noods as I cant see too many being interested in a thead like this! As the original thread starter, may I respectfully request we park that part of the discussion?
ironically, I had actually bought one of those pro minis off ebay a few months back and forgot about it. this thread may prompt me to usemitmat last!
