Everything is implemented from +scratch. Some of the API's (e.g. timer API) are modelled after the +corresponding Linux kernel API's. However, this does not imply that any of the +actual implementation is shared. The reason for matching the Linux API's is +merely because they are well-understood and there's lots of example code using +them. +</para> +<para> +The SAM7 firmware is compiled using GNU GCC 4.0.2 for ARM.
