AVR32 Linux Developer Blog
29 Jun 2006 - 15:28 in , by HaavardSkinnemoen
A new experimental patchset against a 2.6.17 git snapshot is available at LinuxPatches, featuring a rewritten clock management framework.
The patchset was also announced at the linux-kernel mailinglist.

The new clock management framework is one step on the way to enable the AVR32 port to use some of the drivers written for the AT91 series of ARM microcontrollers. In fact, the at91_serial driver is already working and can be used as a serial console when booting the AVR32 Linux kernel on STK1000.

Now, the next steps would probably be to either convert some more drivers or start improving the at91_serial driver. I'm not sure yet.
