Line 3:
Unlike the [[PIC microcontroller|PIC]], the AVR [[instruction set]] is strictly orthogonal and compatible across models. The AVR was designed at the outset for efficient execution of [[compiler|compiled]] [[C programming language|C]] code. Thus some instructions, such as '<code>add immediate</code>', are strangely missing (you have to '<code>subtract immediate</code>' the [[complement]] instead), while others, such as '<code>compare with carry</code>', are included. Like the PIC, it has a dedicated [[hobbyist]] following (exemplified by the ''AVRFreaks'' Internet forum), largely due to the existence of cheap/free development tools, for instance a port of the GNU [[GNU Compiler Collection|GCC]] tools.
