Arnar Mar Sig has been awarded a grant to develop AVR32 support for FreeBSD. AVR32 is a 32-bit MIPS architecture targeted for low power high throughput embedded applications. The target platform is the NGW100 reference design board from Atmel.
"This work will advance the MIPS support in FreeBSD and our capabilities in building embedded applications," said Sam Leffler, The FreeBSD Foundation, Director.
