| Wolfgang Denk | 7b64fef | 2006-10-24 14:21:16 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, |
| 2 | designed for cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular |
| 3 | emphasis on low power consumption and high code density. The AVR32 |
| 4 | architecture is not binary compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR |
| 5 | architectures. |

| 7 | The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described |

| Haavard Skinnemoen | 66b7bc5 | 2008-08-29 17:48:18 +0200 | [diff] [blame] | 17 | A full set of u-boot, kernel and filesystem images can be built using |
| 18 | buildroot. This will also produce a working toolchain which can be |
| 19 | used instead of the official GNU toolchain above. A customized version |
| 20 | of buildroot for AVR32 can be downloaded here: |
