Re: Atmel AT91 (ARM) Family

putxi,

I have used Cirrus Logic ARM controllers which are similar. You can
use the $150 ocdemon wiggler from Macraigor systems and GCC/gdb. I
like the Insight front-end for gdb, it works nice. If you go to
macraigor's website you can find the toolset and JTAG interfaces for
ARM controllers.

regards,
J. Cordaro
