AVR MCUs (see [list of supported MCUs](https://felias-fogg.github.io/PyAvrOCD/supported-mcus/) and [supported boards](https://felias-fogg.github.io/PyAvrOCD/supported-boards/)), enabling you to debug programs running on these MCUs using the [GNU Project Debugger GDB](https://www.sourceware.org/gdb/). PyAvrOCD communicates with Microchip's debug probes, such as the very affordable [MPLAB Snap](https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/pg164100), and it provides a pass-through service for the UNO-based debug probe [dw-link](https://github.com/felias-fogg/dw-link) and the simulation tool [simavr](https://github.com/buserror/simavr) (see [list of supported debug probes](https://felias-fogg.github.io/PyAvrOCD/supported-debuggers/)).\n\nSo, why another open-source GDB server for AVR MCUs? The main intention is to provide a *cross-platform* AVR GDB server. In other words, it is *the missing AVR debugging solution* for the [Arduino IDE 2](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/) and [PlatformIO](https://platformio.org). In particular, the integration with Arduino IDE 2 is pretty tight, allowing one to start debugging without much hassle (see [quickstart guides](quick_arduino.md)). Additionally, PyAvrOCD excels in [minimizing flash wear](https://arduino-craft-corner.de/index.php/2025/05/05/stop-and-go/) and [protects single-stepping against interrupts](https://arduino-craft-corner.de/index.php/2025/03/19/interrupted-and-very-long-single-steps/).\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/felias-fogg/pyavrocd/refs/heads/main/docs/pics/ide2-6.png\" width=\"70%\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## What has been done so far, and what to expect in the future\n\n[PyAvrOCD v1.0.0 has been released](https://arduino-craft-corner.de/index.php/2026/02/10/pyavrocd-1-0-0-released/). If you would like to give it a try, you are welcome to [install](INSTALL.md) it. Any feedback, be it bug reports, crazy ideas, or praise, is welcome.\n\nUPDI MCUs will follow next. I am unsure about Xmegas. One main point missing is an Arduino core for the MegaXU4 chips, similar to MCUdude's MiniCore.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffelias-fogg%2Fpyavrocd","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ffelias-fogg%2Fpyavrocd","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ffelias-fogg%2Fpyavrocd/lists"}
