AVR Testing & Benchmarking

Libdivide test & benchmarking for embedded microcontrollers. E.g. AtMega2560.

Getting Started

1. Install vscode & platformIO
2. Open libdivide/avr_test.code-workspace in vscode (File -> Open Workspace)
3. Wait for the PlatformIO extension to start

Running the Test program

The test program is the 'megaatmega2560_sim_unittest' environment.

To run the test program in a simulator (no hardware required!):

1. On the activity bar, select PlatformIO
2. Run Project Tasks -> megaatmega2560_sim_unittest -> Advanced -> Test
   1. This will build the test program & launch it in the simulator (this might download supporting packages)
   2. NOTE Once running it can take a long time for ouput to appear in the terminal. Be patient
