#Planck Advanced (but not too advanced) `cygwin` Users Guide #Planck Advanced (but not too advanced) `cygwin` Users Guide

Most obnoxiously, the `libusb0_x86.dll` and `libusb0.sys` need to be moved from `./dfu-prog-usb-1.2.2/x86/` to a directory in the `Windows` `PATH` and the `cygwin` `PATH`. This is because the `dfu-programmer` binary is `mingw` based, not `cygwin` based, so the `dlls` do not cooperate. I achieved acceptable pathing by moving the files with Windows Explorer (you know, click and drag...) to `C:\cygwin64\home\Kevin\local\avr\bin` Then, in a `WINDOWS` command prompt running:

### `simulavr` ### `simulavr`
`simulavr` is an AVR simulator. It runs the complied AVR elfs. `simulavr` does not support the `atmega32u4` device... it does `atmega32` but that is not good enough for the firmware (no PORTE and other things), so you cannot run the Planck firmware. I use it to simulate ideas I have for features in separate test projects. `simulavr` is an AVR simulator.
