3Subject: [PATCH] AVR32 architecture support
4
5This patch adds common infrastructure code for the Atmel AVR32
6architecture.
7
8AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core,
9designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular
10emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32
11architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR
12architectures.
13
14The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described
15by the AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from
16
17http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf
18
19A GNU toolchain with support for AVR32 is included with the ATSTK1000
20BSP, which can be downloaded as an ISO image from
21
22http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918
23
24Alternatively, you can build it yourself by following the
25Getting Started guide at avr32linux.org, which also provides links
26to the necessary sources and patches you need to download:

30The AVR32 ports of u-boot, the Linux kernel, the GNU toolchain and
31other associated software are actively supported by Atmel Corporation.
