AVR32 Software Skeleton – No nonsense build file

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 [...]

Copper AVR32 Module – New sale price of $30.99

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 [...]

AVR32 Software Framework 1.7 Makefiles are broken

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

Copper – Expected ship date 2/26/2010

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 [...]

AVR32: Getting up and running with DFU

The Copper features an integrated USB bootloader which allows for reprogramming the device with nothing but the USB port. However, it can be a bit confusing to get everything set up correctly (install the trampoline in build rules, use the right linker commands, and get the drivers working), outside of AVR32 Studio or the included [...]

Copper pre-orders now accepted, new products and widgets

Our AVR32 DIP-module board (Copper) is now open to pre-orders! For $26.99 (plus shipping and handling) you too can bring one home. We are expecting the orders to ship before November 25th, but depending on demand and any glitches, the ship date may be pushed back. As part of the StackFoundry pre-order guarantee, you can [...]

Magnetovore pre-orders, Megavore and Copper coming soon

Just a quick update for those of you following the blog: we have made the needed design changes to the Magnetovore PCB to fix the silly errors we made (including the classic TX and RX pins being swapped, how embarrassing). We are also finalizing the pricing for the production PCBs and setting up the last [...]
