NAME

   Device::AVR::Info - load data from Atmel AVR Studio device files

SYNOPSIS

    use Device::AVR::Info;

    my $avr = Device::AVR::Info->new_from_file( "devices/ATtiny84.xml" );

    printf "The signature of %s is %s\n",
       $avr->name, $avr->signature;

DESCRIPTION

   This module loads an parses "part info" XML files as supplied with
   Atmel's AVR Studio, and provides convenient access to the data stored
   inside them.

CONSTRUCTORS

$avr = Device::AVR::Info->new_from_file( $filename )

   Loads the device information from the given XML file.

ACCESSORS

$name = $avr->name

   The device name (e.g. "ATtiny84")

$architecture = $avr->architecture

   The device architecture (e.g. "AVR8")

$family = $avr->family

   The device family (e.g. "tinyAVR")

@ifaces = $avr->interfaces

$iface = $avr->interface( $name )

   Returns a list of interface instances, or a single one having the given
   name, representing the programming interfaces supported by the device.

   Each is a structure of the following fields.

    $iface->name
    $iface->type

@memories = $avr->memories

$memory = $avr->memory( $name )

   Returns a list of memory instances, or a single one having the given
   name, representing the available memories on the device.

   Each is a structure of the following fields.

    $memory->name
    $memory->id
    $memory->endianness
    $memory->start # in bytes
    $memory->size  # in bytes
    @segments = $memory->segments

   The segments field returns a list of structures of the following
   fields:

    $seg->start
    $seg->size
    $seg->name
    $seg->type
    $seg->can_read
    $seg->can_write
    $seg->can_exec
    $seg->pagesize

   Note that all sizes are given in bytes; for memories of 16-bit
   word-size, divide this by 2 to obtain the size in words.

@ints = $avr->interrupts

$int = $avr->interrupt( $name )

   Returns a list of interrupt instances, or a single one having the given
   name, representing the interrupt sources available on the device.

   Each is a structure of the following fields.

    $int->name
    $int->index
    $int->caption

@periphs = $avr->peripherals

$periph = $avr->peripheral( $name )

   Returns a list of peripheral instances, or a single one having the
   given name, representing the peripherals or other miscellaneous
   information available on the device.

   Each is a structure of the following fields.

    $periph->name
    $periph->module     # instance of Device::AVR::Info::Module
    $periph->regname
    $periph->regspace   # instance of $memory

    @registers = $periph->registers
    # instances of $register from Device::AVR::Info::Module

@group_names = $avr->property_groups

   Returns (in no particular order) the names of the defined property
   groups.

\%values = $avr->property_group( $group_name )

   Returns a HASH reference of all the properties in the given property
   group.

$value = $avr->property( $group_name, $prop_name )

   Returns a single value of a property in the given property group.

   Any value given in the XML file in the form of a single hexadecimal
   numerical constant is automatically converted into the appropriate
   integer. Strings of multiple numbers (such as the HVSP and HVPP control
   stacks) are not converted.

DERIVED METHODS

   These methods wrap information provided by the basic accessors.

$sig = $avr->signature

   Returns a 6-character hexadecimal string consisting of the three bytes
   of the device signature.
