ClearCore + HMI in 45 Minutes: Skip the 40 Hour Learning Curve

I spent about 40 hours over the last two weeks learning about the ClearCore, the Atmel ICE debugger, the 4D Systems HMI, and all of the software development tools to make them work. I finally have a software development environment I'm happy with, and I'm going to share everything I've learned in 45 minutes.
