ATMega88 Programming

I am using the ATMega88 microcontroller for my project.

I am going to do the programming of a microcontroller for the first time.Please can someone help me to program ATMega 88??
It would be helpful if u could clearly specify in steps how i should proceed.

I would like to know how the procedure is done using C program as well as Assembly program.

Also I would like to know the relation of the following softwares in relation to ATMegaa88 programming:
1. AVR Studio
2. IAR Embedded Workbench® for AVR®
3. Keil Compiler

hi
i m working on attiny 2313. with avr studio in asm. u can download bascomavr. its avr compiler in basic with automated lcd uart spi and many other routines. its very simple to work.

I know nothing about playing with the 88 or 168 but this site may be of help, the Arduino Software looks pretty easy to use.

Atmel AVR devices are relatively easy to program. The nice thing about them is that most devices have similar instruction sets, so once you learn how to program one device, you basically know how to program any other AVR device. The same in-system programmer works for all. Then all you need to do is choose a device with the proper pin count and other features (A/D, D/A, RTC, etc.) that you might need.

My recommendation is to look for WinAVR at http://www.avrfreaks.net It is a free C compiler (using gcc) for AVR. The only devices it does not support are the ATtiny devices that do not have a normal stack for subroutines. I have never had the need to use assembly language with WinAVR. It has built-in routines for accessing any of the AVR registers. There is a ton of other information on that site as well.

I like the AVRISP programmer to download programs to the device. It costs around US$34. It uses a 6 wire cable that connects to the device for in-system programming.

Good luck with your project. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the reply.Once i complete the project i will surely let u know.
