This cannot be compiled by an arm-linux compiler, since it relies on newlib. It also has a strange user interface, in that you have to step down deep into the directory tree and then type make, using a hard wired configuration in a header file. The at91bootstrap-2.x series has been generated by me, and I am not part of the AT91 product line and cannot change the official version. The goal of this bootstrap was to be able to compile using an arm-linux compiler, and since then Kconfig has been added and a few other niceties. There is yet another "hidden" at91bootstrap which is present in the AT91 softpacks. This has some nice features, including SD-Card boot, but again, not compilable by an arm-linux compiler. The at91bootstrap-3.x series is a new Atmel project which is intended to merge the functionality of all previous versions, and be compilable on arm-linux. It is developed by the AT91 product line from my 2.x codebase. The patches to submitted for this package are my code. I have made them aware of the patches and I think that the patches will be merged over time, but i cannot tell when. --=20 Best Regards Ulf Samuelsson
