I have created a no-nonsense skeleton project you can use with the AVR32 GNU Build toolchain, without having to use the AVR32 Software Framework.
The project includes:
- A Makefile geared for the AT32UC3B1256 Microcontroller (as on the Copper development board)
- The needed trampoline code (for JTAG and other use)
- The needed linker script for the microcontroller
- Generation of the .elf and .hex images
To add more source files to the project, simply append to the OBJECTS line in the Makefile.
You can grab the Git repository from Gitorious:

For the month of May, we will be offering the Copper AVR32 module at a new low price of $30.99.
Copper is an AVR32 UC3B1256 mounted on a DIP32 breadboard friendly module, giving you the smallest AVR32 development board available (and one of the cheapest!). Features integrated voltage regulator, USB connector, and in-system programming via the USB port.

Our mistake – the online store went down earlier due to an errant upgrade to PHP 5.3, which apparently Magento doesn’t support. Yet another reason to dislike PHP…

Word of warning: The Makefiles in the AVR32 Software Framework version 1.7 feature broken GCC Makefiles (hardcoded paths, incomplete files, etc).
For now, make sure you are using an older revision if you don’t need the new UC3C and UC3L files.
We host a local mirror of the 1.5 version: AVR32-SoftwareFramework-AT32UC3-1.5.0.zip

Our Copper AVR32 Stick stock is expected to be ready to ship on February 26th! A bit later than we had hoped unfortunately. We are also transitioning to a full make-to-stock system, which should dramatically reduce the time to ship. Previously, we had been customizing each board based on your selections, which added in a 2-5 day delay from order processing to shipping.
Coming soon: new products!

We’ve run out of Coppers! You can backorder now, and we will ship within 1-2 weeks.
We are also planning on upgrading our production, allowing us much shorter order to ship times.

Happy New Year to everyone! We have been busy fulfilling all of your orders and questions, leaving little time to make posts on the blog. Thank you to everyone who has ordered, making the Copper our best selling product yet.
On the business front, we are announcing new international postal service pricing. You can now get your package delivered to anywhere* in the world for a low fixed price in 6 to 10 days via USPS Priority Mail International. The base price for this service starts at $16. Our old pricing was automatically computed, but often times would return wildly inaccurate prices and overcharge you, causing us to issue partial refunds for shipping. This new flat rate option should simplify everything.
(* You’re out of luck if you’re in a US Trade Embargo country – sorry)

StackFoundry will be closed from December 22nd to December 27th, as well as January 1st. No orders will ship, and we will be unable to answer any e-mails during this time. Its been a great launch year for our directly branded hardware, but we still have a long way to go. Look for a set of new products in the first quarter of 2010.
We also have a mention on the AVRFreaks.net news page. Thanks AVRFreaks!

Instead of going out and confronting the insanity of lines at 4AM, you can shop online. The store is offering 10% off for Black Friday (Nov 27) and following Saturday (Nov 28). Use the coupon code STAYHOME at the store. Pick up your AVR32 or XMEGA board today!

The first revision Megavore boards are now available in the store!
There is one caveat to the board: the Arduino shield function does not work well as the pin spacing is incorrect. As such, we have labeled the board the “Non-Arduino” version. However, if you are looking for a general purpose XMega development board, pick one up today!
We are also critically low on male pin headers – more are coming but orders may become delayed.
