| 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, along with non-GNU programming |
| and debugging support, can be downloaded from |
| |
| http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=4118 |
| |
| A full set of u-boot, kernel and filesystem images can be built using |
| buildroot. This will also produce a working toolchain which can be |
| used instead of the official GNU toolchain above. A customized version |
| of buildroot for AVR32 can be downloaded here: |

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