3 Subject: [PATCH] AVR32 architecture support
5 This patch adds common infrastructure code for the Atmel AVR32
6 architecture.
8 AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core,
9 designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular
10 emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32
11 architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR
12 architectures.
14 The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described
15 by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from
17 http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf
19 A GNU toolchain with support for AVR32 is included with the ATSTK1000
20 BSP, which can be downloaded as an ISO image from
22 http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918
24 Alternatively, you can build it yourself by following the
25 Getting Started guide at avr32linux.org, which also provides links
26 to the necessary sources and patches you need to download:
28 http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted
30 The AVR32 ports of u-boot, the Linux kernel, the GNU toolchain and
31 other associated software are actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
