More information on supporting boards coming soon!
(And yes, this order was placed over 10 months ago…)

We are now in the process of shipping all of the backorders for the AVR32 Copper!. Starting next week, we will have a limited inventory of boards available to ship from stock. Any customization such as adding headers or not including the processor usually adds to the lead time – if you’re in a hurry, let us know and we can accommodate your schedule.
For those of you who are waiting on more AVR32 microcontrollers to become available for the Copper development board, there is good news to share. We have a limited quantity coming our way in the next week, and will be able to fullfill all of our backorders and have some more parts available on the website.
If you need a larger quantity, please contact us to get a lead time.

Our current stock of the Copper AVR32 module is almost depleted. Currently, Atmel is very behind on the manufacturing and delivery of numerous parts (AVR, AVR32, Dataflash) – our order for more AT32UC3B1256-AU parts is currently scheduled into March of 2011, meaning that once our existing stock runs out we will be unable to ship more Copper AVR32 modules.
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:
http://gitorious.org/avr32-skeleton, or just download the latest snapshot: http://gitorious.org/avr32-skeleton/avr32-skeleton/archive-tarball/master
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.
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)
