I think for developing the GUI part for linux and BSD, one can use the gtk+ libraries. I have some experience working on gtk+ libraries. For windows, either gtk+ or windows APIs for building the GUI can be used.

I am an aspirant for GSoC 2009 and I have been working on AVR devices and avr tools for the last 3 years.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Note that by now, AVRDUDE does not yet have the full
infrastructure available for this, so certain changes in
the AVRDUDE project itself will be required.  Therefore,
anyone interested in that project should be able to:

. communicate the required changes with the AVRDUDE developers

. build AVRDUDE from a SVN (subversion) snapshot

The required changes would be infrastructural changes in
AVRDUDE's build system, including restructuring the source
tree.

Note that a GUI solution that sits on top of the existing
AVRDUDE commandline tool is explicitly not desired.  There
are already some solutions of that kind, but these suffer
from a number of drawbacks that could be resolved by placing
the GUI on top of the backend library, making it an
integrated application.

This project will be good for students interested in writing a GUI for an existing command-line program with an emphasis on cross-platform capabilities and usability.

Difficulty level would be easy to medium (for the testing part).

AVRDUDE is a command-line programming utility for the AVR. However, it has been redesigned recently to allow a front-end GUI to be built, that links to several AVRDUDE libraries.

We would like to have a cross-platform GUI to be created for AVRDUDE, that works with Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and potentially other host systems (e.g. Solaris, NetBSD) that uses the existing library interface.
