i am a dummy. i downloaded Atmel Studio 6 yesterday and i was shocked to see SAM7X512/256/128 are not supported. did i get it right? how could it be? are there any updates? plugins?

Hello,

Atmel Studio 6 only supports SAM Cortex-M devices , so SAM7X512/256/128 are not supported.

Unfortunately there are no plugins , extentions avaiable for these products.

In order to start development on these products you need to use our Software package available for IAR Keil and GNU :

Thats really a big shock!!
BTW,I'm familiar with Keil,and would be happy if someone makes some comments on GNU;Is it a stand alone environment or just a editor or compiler?
