Special: The Story of AVR
What on earth is AVR? How did it become one of the biggest successes in the industry?
And what does AVR really stand for? Watch this special to become enlightened, meet the AVR inventors and Atmel Norway founders, and get a peek inside the AVR design centre in Norway. This episode is in 16:9 format, and will therefore not be available in 3gp and STK1000 versions.

There were some connection problems, when they wanted to talk about what ‘AVR’ stands for
Great video guys!
September 9th, 2007 at 11:15 pm
Very nice video, Thanks guys!!!
September 10th, 2007 at 12:19 pm
Haha, very droll, had me laughing.
September 10th, 2007 at 1:29 pm
This is good one with cell phone interference noise. AVR you Rock!
September 10th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
This was a horrible connection. Very annoying to watch. Why are you providing flash video when you don’t have enough bandwidth to play it?
September 10th, 2007 at 4:33 pm
Heh, I could just make out the real name through the interference! Damn, they’ve got a good reason to keep it secret…
September 10th, 2007 at 5:23 pm
Still don’t know anything about AVR, never got past 25 secs of the video….L
September 10th, 2007 at 10:53 pm
How about posting a torrent?
September 10th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
Avrtv is becoming a great internet channel. It would be fantastic a Joost avr channel.

I work for a competitor, but use AVRs for personal use. Awesome product. Hats off to the Norway team and Atmel.
September 11th, 2007 at 5:37 am
The product was designed with C code in mind, i.e., when compiling, the code density is superior to other devices on the market (IMHO). This means, it uses less memory, yet has good performance and low power. I sound like an ad, but it’s true.
September 11th, 2007 at 8:01 am
Thanks for all the kind words,
we are working on the bandwidth issue.

I downloaded the .WMV file (275 MB) and to my disappointment, only audio is playing, there is no video.
September 11th, 2007 at 9:52 am
We will provide new optimized formats in a short time. Due to bandwidth issues we had to remove them.

[…] AVR Television » Blog Archive » Special: The Story of AVR 7 minute video of how the AVR microcontroller came into being. The intro is visually pretty neat. (tags: avr electronics video history) […]

day of 14th september shows up and the AVR video runs smootly over my 19 inches.
Cool to hear the real story of AVR.
September 18th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
Great Info here!
Where can I get on of those great “PAC-MAN”, Atmel t-shirts at?
September 20th, 2007 at 7:51 am
Watch out for a webshop somewhere, someday.
October 1st, 2007 at 7:05 pm
what AVR stand for??? hahaha
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:35 am
Very nice video! Everywhere You Are there’s an AVR ;)God I love those chips =)
October 4th, 2007 at 5:28 am
I think I heard:
A(lf-Egil Bogen)
V(egard Wollan)
R(ISC Microcontroller)
It was a little fuzzy.
October 14th, 2007 at 9:05 pm
fantastic!!!
i really tricked, i thought its my mobile doing noise
i am happy that they didn’t say it , what AVR stands for???
i agree with “knavekid” 90% it is right!!
October 20th, 2007 at 7:29 am
I thought that AVR was some sort of acronym for the original creators? Perhaps not. I love AVRs. They are the reason I choose my path of study at my school (Washington State University, USA) and I am paid to develop interesting projects with them at my job. I am interning at http://www.digilentinc.com. I am really interested in the AVR32 stuff! Keep up the good work!

Hello! If I was not of age 37hex (senior), I would say - I am on AVR for two years. As an serious old novice, I enjoy all benefits of AVR technology: SIMPLE, VERSATILE AND POWERFULL. I work with starting class of Megas (8,16). Still, I am very happy with their performance. It is also very nice and practical that I can get low cost hi capability device together with appropriate (free, to mention, too) developing tools. I must also say all the best for well known frends of AVR: AVR FREAKS site, WinAVR C compiler,… and VMLAB simulator as a complement during AVR software and hardware development. Thank You very much for all. Keep going on !!
One last comment. I noticed some interference problems in picture and tone (mobile-camera) almost on the end of Your movie. Was it made on purpose? If so, not needed. The whole AVR story in movie is very educational and very inspirng!
October 26th, 2007 at 9:06 am
hahha…smart guys there AV with their R controller
October 29th, 2007 at 4:06 pm
HAHA - I love it!!!
November 17th, 2007 at 2:25 pm
Where’s the .MPG ? (or the WMV)
(are people really crazy enough to install a trojan named ‘flash player’?)
November 20th, 2007 at 12:15 pm
Impressive performance - brought to us from Trondheim: The Capital of Technology i Norway. But it takes creative and determined individual’s to make it happen!
December 7th, 2007 at 6:23 am
Awesome Story !!
I think it stands for ‘Advanced Virtual RISC’
December 14th, 2007 at 8:44 am
i wanna show it to others
cool!!
how can i sort of save it ?
December 19th, 2007 at 9:31 am
Nice video, but it covers 3.6% of my screen. C’mooooon! I have bigger postage stamps! How hard would it be to support enlarging it? And 2x would be a good size to start with.
January 25th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Well, it may be a foolish idea but in the end of the video it has the atmel’s logo stating “Everywhere you are”. Try reading “everywhere you are” loud and fast…
March 12th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
Did You realize those guys were reading prepared text, which was next to the camera? That’s why they didn’t look straight in to it.
April 20th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Rev’d up. I Love Europe. It is now crystal clear. Serious 32-bit and 8 bit system coming. What a fun video. And it IS crystal. Too funny what ‘oh well’ says.
July 16th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Why can’t I find this video under the AVR Television podcasts on iTunes? I see five others but not this one…
August 23rd, 2008 at 6:37 pm
I thought AVR stands for Audio, Video & Robotics… LOL
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:50 pm
superb video
AVR Rocks
October 7th, 2008 at 3:59 pm
so.. who is ‘R’
October 23rd, 2008 at 10:55 am
That’s what happens if you don’t use an AVR phone!
October 26th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I don’t mind AVR being every I want it to be, but it scares me that is it *everywhere I am*… such cheap, low powered, wireless capable devices with camera support…
Maybe in 20 years those little remote controlled “bugs” (robot spiders, flies, cockroaches) that we see in B-grade science finction movies, will have “AVR onboard” stickers underneath.
If so, I hope I’m the one who gets to design them
November 11th, 2008 at 2:53 am
ultimate video guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 20th, 2008 at 2:50 am
Man! I found that a lot of what I dreamed of designing using the BIG processors, With tons of supportive hardware (and solder),And with lots of programming/debugging time needed, Could be simply and reliably done with AVR. I have a whole bunch of side tracked RF, Audio and Video control concepts that with AVR, Is portable, small, And less power hungry than the BIG processor arrays. Even If the BIG processors may already be library supportive of my programming concepts. Awesome possibilities exist with battery driven designs, With cleanly interfaced LCD displays that will require minimal containment space….Wish AVR existed during the early 68000 and Z80 craze! I could have saved hours of cold coffee and cheese sandwich consumption! Any way, Great concept, And I am looking forward to exploring the potential further..By the way, AVR stands for “Fast Productivity & Design”, No, That would be FPD….., I know! It means Advanced Vehicle [for] Really Fast Productivity and Design…..Oh well, I guess AVR is simple enough!

AVR= Atmel eVerywhere you aRe, they said that we really know what it stands for them showed that label.
November 30th, 2008 at 5:52 am
haloooooooo guys……
im bojes from indonesia
i have problem………,to make PLC from mikrokontroler ATmega8535.help meeeeeeeeeeeeee
March 8th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
I think AVR stands for Alf-Vegard-RISC microcontroller. Wonder if I am close..
Great product by the way!! I use the STK500, JTAGICE mkII, Dragon (have 5 of them), Butterfly (also have 5 of them) and some other odds and ends.I want more but the money does not allow it. Keep up the good work!!!
March 26th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
…good to have AVR (=Alf-Vegard-Research).
Thanks for all.

Personally I do not think they are that bad. Find the files you are looking for at http://your-download.org the most comprehensive source for free-to-try files downloads on the Web

I just wanted to know what AVR meant.
April 20th, 2009 at 8:11 pm
Great video…
April 22nd, 2009 at 5:07 pm
awesome video!
