Well, I have this board, EvB 3.4 with an ATmega32 ... not yet into AVR
programming (my ATmega needs recovering from bad fuses :-( ) but I
thought also would be nice to do some kind of cross development...
programming in JAL for FreeJALduino and generating code for SDCC-
Pinguino and for WinAVR-ATmega16/32/644p.

I'm working on a FreeJALduino documentation (HTML) and I wanted to
give a link to JAT page, to present it as a real solution to cross
development... that war between PIC and AVR fans it looks childish to
me.

I recon, I'm not yet able to do testings, my finances are very low,
everything I do on this hobby is with great effort from my family and
also my sponsors (relatives - they all hope this will have some happy
ending like earning some money with) but this does not mean I don't
want to do it. For now, I can make only "waves" about it, keeping it
in the treasure chest.

But you're right, it needs teams for every target - some kind of
passionate people? :-D . Some sort of small steps? One team for SDCC,
one for Arduino and ATmega, etc. But I know that somebody was
interested in ARM development and now probably have no interest on
this... too bad!

Still, I have hopes this is not the end!

All the best,
Vasi(funlw65)
