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. + +Signed-off-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> |
