title: Atmel AVR Studio 6 using Arduino Uno (ATmega328p) and FreeRTOS
body: <p>Hey there all,</p>
  
  <p>I want to begin working with freeRTOS using my Arduino Uno which uses the ATmega328p on Atmel AVR Studio 6.</p>
  
  <p>I am working on windows 7.</p>
  
  <p>I went into this tutorial:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.jayconsystems.com/tutorial/atmerpt1/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jayconsystems.com/tutorial/atmerpt1/</a></p>
  
  <p>which describes how to install and prepare the Atmel AVR Studio 6 to work with ATmega328p.</p>
  
  <p>I failed to understand what should I do in step 5A , which tells to do the following:</p>
  
  <p>Go to Tools -> External Tools...
  Create the new tool with these settings:</p>
  
  <p>Title: Serial Program</p>
  
  <p>Command: C:\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe</p>
  
  <p>(Change that to match your arduino installation folder and locate avrdude.exe)</p>
  
  <p>-CC:\arduino-1.0.1\hardware\tools\avr\etc\avrdude.conf -patmega328p -carduino -P\.\COM3 -b57600 -Uflash:w:"$(ProjectDir)Debug\$(ItemFileName).hex":i    <strong>// *</strong></p>
  
  <p>NOTE: I do have the avrdude.exe installed on my computer at this location:</p>
  
  <p>C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe</p>
  
  <p>So my questions are:</p>
  
  <p>1) On the line <strong>*</strong> , what does -CC mean, does it needs to be within the arguments or the initial directory (within the External Tools dialog box)?</p>
  
  <p>2) As it is mentioned , the path to the avrdude.conf  (indeed in my case) goes through the X86 folder , so how does the line I need to enter there should be (cause it is mentioned there something about double quotes)? </p>
  
  <p>3) After I will solve all of these problems how/where/does AVR Studio 6 has a "simple generic template" project to get started with freeRTOS ? </p>
  
  <p>I ran into this tutorial (which uses different board) , can I "follow" it although I am using another board (my ATmega328p)?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks allot in advance,</p>
  
  <p>Guy.</p>
