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