| 3 | Subject: [PATCH] AVR32 architecture support |
| 4 | |
| 5 | This patch adds common infrastructure code for the Atmel AVR32 |
| 6 | architecture. |
| 7 | |
| 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. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described |
| 15 | by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from |
| 16 | |
| 17 | http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf |
| 18 | |
| 19 | A GNU toolchain with support for AVR32 is included with the ATSTK1000 |
| 20 | BSP, which can be downloaded as an ISO image from |
| 21 | |
| 22 | http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918 |
| 23 | |
| 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: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted |
| 29 | |
| 30 | The AVR32 ports of u-boot, the Linux kernel, the GNU toolchain and |
| 31 | other associated software are actively supported by Atmel Corporation. |
