i am posting this message for my friend... -- Wise ones - I am walking the learning curve on one of Atmel's ARM-based microcontrollers. Nice hardware, but painfully opaque to program -- at least t first blush. The part is Atmel's AT91-FR40162, a ARM 7. Nothing in the examples takes me far enough to go off and write even simple code. The examples in the Atmel lib are a start. But unless assembler is your first language, they don't shed the kind of light on the general operating principles that a set of structured tutorials would. Do any of you have any pointers/suggestions for a quick bootup on this part? Or experience with the AT91 series in general?
