    Hi,

    I need some help in getting a GNU arm toolchain running on the Atmel SAM3X8E. (Shell would be great, optional bonus if eclipse integration)

    Detailed Question:
    Is there a way to get rid of the Arduino on the Atmel SAM3X8E und use a GNU arm toolchain instead (possibly with FreeRTOS) ?
    How does one cross-compile (on your desktop PC) and then upload the hex to the Atmel SAM3X8E ?? With bossac? (does it need a patch?)
    How does one interface from i.mx6 to Atmel SAM3X8E (running GNU toolchain crosscompiler).

    Why do this?
    One can then use the Atmel SAM3X8E for real-time-critical parts, and the i.mx6 for TCP/IP networking, touch, display, etc.
    I think this would also be closer to real-world programming, and not simple playing-around with Arduino (though I like it for prototyping).

    Has nobody tried this?
    I think it would make the Udoo far more popular, esp. in university settings.

    It seems there is some interest in these topics:

    Thanks,
