 When it comes to microcontroller development platforms, Windows gets almost all the love. There are tons of commercial, gratis, and FOSS tools for Windows to support microcontroller development as well as the peripherals often associated with embedded design (e.g., [[http://www.digi.com/xbee/|Xbee]] cards).

 ===== 8051 =====
-The 8051-family of devices' main advantage seems to be that unlike the other devices discussed here, 8051-based chips are not single-sourced.
+The main advantage of the 8051-family of devices seems to be that unlike the other devices discussed here they are not single-sourced.
 A fairly comprehensive package for 8051-family devices is available in the [[http://mcu8051ide.sourceforge.net/|MCU 8051 IDE]]. It provides a simulator, source code editor, assembler, programmer and other tools. It uses [[microcontrollers:linux_microcontroller_development_options#SDCC|SDCC]] for C language support.

 Arguably, the microcontrollers with the best Linux support are the Atmel AVR series.
-Atmel provides a [[http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=17311&category_id=163&family_id=607&subfamily_id=760|toolchain for Linux]] where, "Several of the tools are based on tools from GNU (www.gnu.org), and some are developed by Atmel." Source code for this appears to be available, but I have not yet looked at the licensing terms to see if it's actually FOSS.

 An alternative to the bundle provided by Atmel is a "classic" toolchain that is made up of:((see: [[http://probing.wikidot.com/atmega-linux-tutorial]], [[http://pramode.net/articles/lfy/atmega8/pramode.html]], [[https://ariandy1.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/avr-atmega-and-ubuntu-linux/]], http://blog.isuru.net/?p=47))
