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