\LaTeX\ is known as a typesetting system. But the underlying \TeX\ system is a powerful macro
processor. In fact, TeX is a Turing-complete programming language. \TeX\ can compute anything that
is computable. Computeability is a concept from theoretical computer science. After visiting a
theoretical computer-science course, you will know that there are things that cannot be solved by a
machine. Never. Look out for the halting problem.
This package does contain an \emph{CPU emulator} for the 8-bit microcontroller platform Atmel AVR, more
precisely it implements the instruction-set architecture of the \texttt{ATmega8}.

\section{Provided Commands}
\DescribeMacro{\avrloadihex}{\meta{filename}}
Load an Intel HEX formatted image of the flash into the code memory of the AVR
emulator. Additionally the state of the AVR emulator is set back to zero.
\DescribeMacro{\avrloadc}[\meta{compiler options}]{\meta{filename}}
Requires \verb|--shell-escape|. Compiles C source code file with \verb|avr-gcc| and the given
compiler options. The default compiler option set is \verb|-mmcu=atmega8 -Os|. The resulting
\texttt{.elf} file is transformed to an Intel HEX file and loaded into the code memory of the
emulator.
\DescribeMacro{\avrrun}
Run the emulator until a \textbf{break} instruction occurs.
\DescribeMacro{\avrstep}[\meta{steps}=1]
Run the emulator for N instructions. The default is a single step. The stepping does automatically
end, if a \textbf{break} instruction is executed.
\DescribeMacro{\avrinstrcount}
Expands to the number of executed instructions.
\DescribeMacro{\avrsinglestep}
Starts an interactive single-stepping mode, which was mainly used for implementing the emulator.
\DescribeMacro{\usravremulibrary}{\meta{list of libraryies}}
\subsection{Access to the Serial Console}
If the program write to the \verb|UDR| IO register, the emulator catched those characters in an
internal buffer.
\DescribeMacro{\avrUDR}
Expands to the internal UDR buffer.
\DescribeMacro{\avrUDRclear}
Clears the internal UDR buffer.
\subsection{Draw Library}
\DescribeMacro{\useavremulibrary}{avr.draw}
See source/test-suite/mandelbrot.c for more details.
