I am looking for an IDE not for compiling code, but for simulating a compiled code for AVRs, mainly ATMega16 ...
I am familiar with Proteus on windows but as it turns out, it's not available for ubuntu and i would hate to install wine just for that...
I would be really thankful if any of you knows a simulator similar to Proteus that is available on linux, and preferably open source..
Mainly, i would like to simulate RS232 signals as it's becoming a pain to flash the chip after every small change to check the results...
Thanks in advance.
I've never tried simulavr, but it is packaged on Ubuntu:
$ apt-cache show simulavr
Package: simulavr
...
Description: Atmel AVR simulator
simulavr simulates the Atmel AVR family of micro-controllers,
emulates a gdb remote target, and displays register and memory
information in real time.

Other distributions may or may not have it so easily available -- and there might be better choices. Still, hope this helps.
