Atmel says that the name AVR is not an acronym and does not stand for anything in particular. The creators of the AVR give no definitive answer as to what the term "AVR" stands for.<ref name="storyofavr" /> However, it is commonly accepted that AVR stands for '''A'''lf and '''V'''egard's '''R'''ISC processor.<ref>{{cite web|title=UNSW School of Computer Science and Engineering - General AVR Info|url=http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~pcb/avr/avr.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120623131604/http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~pcb/avr/avr.html|archive-date=2012-06-23|access-date=2012-09-19|publisher=Cse.unsw.edu.au}}</ref> Note that the use of "AVR" in this article generally refers to the 8-bit RISC line of Atmel AVR microcontrollers.
The original AVR MCU was developed at a local [[Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC]]
Among the first of the AVR line was the AT90S8515, which in a 40-pin DIP package has the same pinout as an [[Intel 8051|8051]] microcontroller, including the external multiplexed address and data bus. The polarity of the <span style="text-decoration: overline">RESET</span> line was opposite (8051's having an active-high RESET, while the AVR has an active-low <span style="text-decoration: overline">RESET</span>), but other than that the pinout was identical.

=== Development ===
AVRs have a large following due to the free and inexpensive development tools available, including reasonably priced development boards and free development software. The AVRs are sold under various names that share the same basic core, but with different peripheral and memory combinations. Compatibility between chips in each family is fairly good, although I/O controller features may vary.
The Atmel AVR GNU C/C++ [[cross compiler]], "avr-gcc" and "avr-g++", is used in both WinAVR and Atmel Studio.<ref>

** Optional boot code section with independent lock bits for protection
* On-chip debugging (OCD) support through JTAG or [[debugWIRE]] on most devices
** The JTAG signals (TMS, TDI, TDO, and TCK) are multiplexed on [[General Purpose Input/Output|GPIOs]]. These pins can be configured to function as JTAG or GPIO depending on the setting of a [[fuse bit]], which can be programmed via [[in-system programming]] (ISP) or HVSP. By default, AVRs with JTAG come with the JTAG interface enabled.
** [[debugWIRE]] uses the /RESET pin as a bi-directional communication channel to access on-chip debug circuitry. It is present on devices with lower pin counts, as it only requires one pin.
* Internal data [[EEPROM]] up to 4 KB

USB-based AVRs have been used in the Microsoft Xbox hand controllers. The link between the controllers and Xbox is USB.
Numerous companies produce AVR-based microcontroller boards intended for use by hobbyists, robot builders, experimenters and small system developers including: Cubloc,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cubloc.com/|title=Comfile Technology|publisher=Comfile Technology, Inc.|access-date=13 January 2013|archive-date=17 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130117112843/http://www.cubloc.com/|url-status=dead}}</ref> gnusb,<ref>{{cite web|url=
