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. "I'm excited to be able to work on bringing FreeBSD to another architecture and pushing it farther into the embedded market," said Arnar Mar Sig, FreeBSD developer. The project will be completed by August 2009.
