Embedded Linux on AT91SAM, which config do you use?

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
