5. Getting Started in Mac OS X

This section explains how to get started with the Pololu AVR Library in Mac OS X.

Section 5.a explains how to set up the AVR programming environment.

Section 5.b covers the installation of the Pololu AVR Library itself.

Section 5.c explains how to compile a simple example program.

You can then find more ready-to-run example programs in the examples directory of the library download: libpololu-avr\examples. The examples are preconfigured for the various devices supported by this library, so you should use the appropriate ones for your particular device. Some of the examples are discussed in more detail in Section 6, which also contains a functional overview of the library.

For information on using the Pololu AVR library in your own programs, please see Section 7.
