Do you plan to use it with USRP? What's your end goal?

Well, you can develop the code under any OS which has a text editor :)
Under Windows you should be able to compile it with Windows port of
avr-gcc and then use AVR Studio to flash it, but this is not
documented right now, so you're on your own with this way. Under Linux
you can use our Makefile which automate building and flasing. Also you
could use our GUI to control ClockTamer under Linux.
Note, that we recommend you to get AVRDragon and ClockTamer dev.kit to
do full re-flash and (more importantly) debug your code.

By default it clock generation starts right after power on, but this
is controlled by a flag in EEPROM, so you can control this.

The only available documentation is at the project page at Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/clock-tamer/
We're looking to extend it and would appreciate any help in writing
more manuals, tutorials, etc.
