For users of the Atmel AT91SAM7 and AT91SAM9 ARM CPU chips. Atmel has taken a new direction by combining on chip flash and ram with the ARM CPU on a single die. This provides low cost devices for small systems using the ARM CPU.
This group is to exchange information to help users get started and learn how to use the devices.
Embedded Linux on AT91SAM, which config do you use? - Andre Gompel - Feb 4 23:59:07 2008
Gentlemen:
if you are using embedded Linux, with an AT91SAM7x,
then could you share your experience:
* Which Linux
* Which Tools (Compiler, JTAG interface, debugger...)
* Which AT91SAM7S and which config (external DRAM?
etc...)
* What is the good, the bad etc...
Thank you.

Andre,
You can't run Linux on a SAM7, as it has no MMU. You might be able to
run uclinux, but I would be surprised due to the memory limitations of
this family.
I believe you would be much better off with something like FreeRTOS or
with another embedded RTOS which is geared towards small-memory
environments.
If you must run Linux, you need to go to the SAM9 family instead.

Should have been more explicit - I am using AT91SAM9260, gcc, gdb,
the board is from emac - they provided the linux kernel for the system
