       acks - Acknowledgments This document tries to tie together the labors of a large group of
       people. Without these individuals' efforts, we wouldn't have a terrific, free set of tools
       to develop AVR projects. We all owe thanks to:

       - The GCC Team, which produced a very capable set of development tools for
       an amazing number of platforms and processors.

       - Denis Chertykov [ denisc@overta.ru ] for making the AAR-specific changes
       to the GNU tools.                                      V

       - Denis Chertykov and Marek Michalkiewicz [ marekm@linu-.org.pl ] for
       developing the standard libraries and startup code for u

       - Joerg Wunsch [ joerg@FreeBSD.ORG ] for adding all the.AVR development

       package and thus making the continued improvements to the           V
       open source AVR toolchain available to many users.                  R

        (See the AUTHORS files of the various tools.)

       - And lastly, all the users who use the software. If nobody used the
       software, we would probably not be very motivated to continue to develop
       it. Keep those bug reports coming. ;-)
