[http://megasquirtavr.sourceforge.net/manual/Detailed.Central.Firmware.html#Operate [Manual: Detailed.Central.Firmware.Operate]] Previosly, everyone compiled their own firmware, so some extra tools had to be installed like CVS, winavr (as on AtMega/AvrGccFAQ). * Today most people use released firmware version from GenBoard/UnderDevelopment/FirmwareChanges. Since it has a compiled firmware (vems.hex), there is no need to compile the firmware for GenBoard/VerThree (except some very special hardware configurations like missing or noninverting FETdrivers). So '''CVS and winavr''' (that contains avr-gcc, make, ...) is '''not required any longer''' * '''Perl is still recommended''' (see PerlInterpreter) to run bin/prog.pl that uploads the vems.hex firmware to the board (commonly referred to as "reflashing") using the GenBoard/Firmware/BootLoader method.
