Linux 2.6.22.atmel.2, containing a small handful of improvements upon the 2.6.22.atmel.1 release, has been released. For more information and downloads, please see the LinuxPatches page.

...shortly followed by 2.6.22.atmel.1, containing many additional drivers and a few other improvements. Grab it from the LinuxPatches page and give it a spin. Please see the announcement for details.

Two new mailing lists have been created: "kernel" for kernel-related discussions and "u-boot" for bootloader-related discussions. Read more at the MailingLists page.

New AVR32 Linux kernel patchsets based on the 2.6.20 kernel have been released. Preliminary patches adding support for CompactFlash have also been added.

Linux 2.6.20 was released last sunday, with support for the MACB driver out of the box and a handful of other AVR32-related fixes and improvements.

Updated patches for Linux (both 2.6.18 and 2.6.19), U-Boot, Binutils, GCC and uClibc are available. Please test if you feel adventurous.

Also, Linux 2.6.19 has been released with support for AVR32 out of the box.

A new Application Repository has been added. We encourage everyone who try out new applications on AVR32 Linux to post their efforts there, and to try out the applications already listed.

Some spammers figured that this site could be used to host their crap. Not anymore.

It's been a long time since the last news post here, although a lot of things have been happening. The mainstream linux and u-boot trees now feature AVR32 support, drivers have been submitted for review, and avr32linux.org has seen a minor reorganization, including a new "application repository" where everyone can submit information about applications they have working on avr32-linux.

Another round of updates found its way to the GettingStarted page. Special thanks to squidgit from the AVR32 forum at avrfreaks.net for a nice summary of what he had to do to compile the AVR32 toolchain. Some of the status pages for the LinuxKernel have been updated as well.

A new experimental patchset is available from the LinuxPatches page. Among the new features are MTD support (for flash-based filsystems) and a driver for the Static Memory Controller.

A new patchset is available from the LinuxPatches page. This includes fixes for a lot of issues found by people on the linux-kernel mailing list, new interrupt handling code based on genirq and experimental preempt support.

The GettingStarted pages has been extended to the point that it should actually be possible to build the kernel and C library by following the instructions there. All necessary patches have been uploaded as well.

This is basically the same as the previous patchset, but it applies cleanly to v2.6.18-rc1. Get it from the LinuxPatches page.

The latest patchset available from the LinuxPatches page features two new drivers and some cleanups.

A new experimental patchset against a 2.6.17 git snapshot is available at LinuxPatches, featuring a rewritten clock management framework.
