COOL!  Very COOL!

: AVR32 is a modern RISC architecture from Atmel, the board i'm using is  
: ngw100 with AT32AP7000 SoC.
: AT32AP7000 has many of the same chip peripheral that AT9 has (also  
: from Atmel), so many of the drivers can be shared between thous archs.

Excellent.  I think have a board...

: If anyone is intrested in helping with the port then I can provide  
: patches and howto install the gcc toolchain, the avr32 port of gcc is  
: still not in upstream gcc and is a bit of a mess to get working on  
: freebsd.

I would be most interested in this.
