Information

James P. Lynch has updated his great tutorial "Using Open Source Tools for AT91SAM7S Cross Development, Revision C". This tutorial is based on YAGARTO, and can be found at the Atmel web site (tutorial + sample projects, 13 MB).

A new tutorial "AT91SAM7 Serial Communications" is available from James P. Lynch too. He explains how to setup the USART from the SAM7 using the GCC tools. The tutorial and examples will be hosted by SparkFun.

Even you can find a very good tutorial for the STR7xx "Using Open Source Tools for STR7xx Cross Development" form Giacomo Antonino Fazio and
Antonio Daniele Nasca on this side.

A good tutorial about "Building Bare-Metal ARM Systems with GNU" from Miro Samek dealing with the Startup Code, Low-level Initialization and the Linker Script can be found in Part2 and Part3 at Embedded.com.
