The primary bootloader code from Atmel can only be compiled with ARM ADS/RVDS but can't be compiled with GCC because of incompatible assembler parts and linker symbols. There is some port for GCC but it (http://www.teest.com/) but that is not supported officially by Atmel and it uses g++ to compiler "pseudo-C++". And for proper function the omitted bss initialization has to be added... I have done a conversion to proper C code and also lots of enhancements but these will be published when the final product will be released. With best regards Andreas Schweigstill -- Dipl.-Phys.
