Installation Instructions for Windows

This document contains instructions to install following software on Windows OS:

Atmel Studio 7
Note: Even if you have Atmel Studio 6 software installed on your system, you have to
install Atmel Studio 7 software for this course. Follow the instructions below for installing
the same.

Proteus 8 Demonstration

Note: Even if you have Proteus 8 Professional software installed on your system, you have
to install Proteus 8 Demonstration software for this course. Follow the instructions below
for installing the same.

The installation of all software has been tested on Windows 8 and 10. We recommend you to use
one of these versions of Windows OS. These software have to be installed ONLY ON 64-bit OS.

1. Atmel Studio 7

Atmel Studio provides a project management tool, source file editor, simulator, assembler, and
front-end for C/C++, programming, and on-chip debugging. It carries and integrates the GCC
toolchain for both AVR and ARM, Atmel Software Framework, AVR Assembler and Simulator.

Prerequisites to install Atmel Studio 7

OS: Windows 8 / 10
Architecture: 64-bit
RAM: 2 GB for 64-bit
Storage space: 6 GB of available hard disk space

Installation Procedure:

2. Proteus 8 Demonstration

Proteus is an electronic circuit design software which includes a schematic capture, simulation
and PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Layout modules.
One of its features is Proteus Virtual System Modelling (VSM) which provides a unique
development platform for an engineer to rapidly prototype both hardware and firmware designs,
in software. It helps one to design, test and debug the embedded projects in the circuit simulator
even if the physical prototype is not available.

It allows one to load a program (HEX file, ELF file, etc.) as a property of the microcontroller part on
the schematic and during simulation will show the effects of the program on the schematic.

You can change your firmware in the IDE of your choice and, once compiled, test the new code on
the new system at the press of a button. This gives you total freedom to experiment with
different ideas and to find the optimal design simulation for your project. The schematic serves
as a 'virtual prototype' for the firmware and it's quick and easy to make changes to either.

Proteus VSM will save time and effort during the design phase and in the testing/debugging
phase.
