Where is the latest tool chain (to run on Linux) that supports the latest xmega avr's (XxxxA3U and A3UB)??
Do I have to download from Atmel? |

You need Atmel's 4.6.2
It's included in AS6 but for Linux you'll need to get the patch sets for GCC and binutils and build your own 4.6.2 from source.
Eventually I imagine Bingo will do a 4.6.2 using those patches for you. |

Hm. Strange way to announce the existence of that  .
Seems to work 
Here's the supported xmega*u-devices:
Code:
$ avr-gcc --target-help -mlist-devices |grep 'xmega.*u'
atxmega16a4u __AVR_ATxmega16A4U__
atxmega32a4u __AVR_ATxmega32A4U__
atxmega64a3u __AVR_ATxmega64A3U__
atxmega64a4u __AVR_ATxmega64A4U__
atxmega64a1u __AVR_ATxmega64A1U__
atxmega128a3u __AVR_ATxmega128A3U__
atxmega192a3u __AVR_ATxmega192A3U__
atxmega256a3u __AVR_ATxmega256A3U__
atxmega256a3bu __AVR_ATxmega256A3BU__
atxmega128a1u __AVR_ATxmega128A1U__
atxmega128a4u __AVR_ATxmega128A4U__

Indeed. Doesn't the existence of this at least deserve a mention on the front page of Freaks if not the front of atmel.com after the way Atmel have previously shafted Linux, users? |

The page was renamed, but there's been Linux versions of the toolchain available from the Atmel site for least a year or two now.

| Then when there have been threads here from Linux users looking for latest device support why in the name of God has someone from Atmel not mentioned this?? |

Sorry, no idea and no idea  . I do know it's been around a long time, I remember seeing it some time last year on the Atmel site.

How about making that top message of Dean's a sticky?

I'm currently using the latest wrightflyer package. It works very nicely (but does lack support for the more recent XMegas).
Should I trust Atmel's toolchain, or should I hold-off until there's a more recent wrightflyer package? |

| That's for windows. But you can run it in wine. The following xmega-U devices is supported: atxmega128a1u, atxmega256a3bu and atxmega64a1u. It's the same devices as in, for example, Bingos latest 4.5.1 package and in the 4.3.4 that comes with Ubuntu 10.04. |

I know, but Johann's build should be fairly "mainstream" as he rejects Atmel's (or any other "proprietary") patches AFAIK. In other words, it should be quite straightforward to arrive to a similar *nux binary by building the stock gcc/binutils/avr-libc; and it's undoubtedly the latest and greatest (with all the flash support and stuff).

I'm using the Atmel toolchains in both Windows (development) and Linux (build test/validation) with no trouble. Proprietary patches or not - and I suspect not, since the patches are included in the toolchain - it's the most up-to-date toolchain for the devices available and seems to work fine.

As the package Dean linked to appears to be the same 4.6.2 in AS6 then, yes, I'd say it can be trusted as well as packages on www.wrightflyer.co.uk/avr-gcc/ and is, of course, a later version.
I'll update my web page to add a note to give a link to the "hidden" Atmel packages, |

Genuinely surprised that everyone's surprised about this - like I said I've seen it on the Atmel site months and months and months ago, along with the regular standalone Windows builds. I always thought everyone went for the alternative builds because they thought they were better or something.

On the page requesting registration, replace "System/BaseForm" with "forms/software-download".

No GDB in the Linux TC ... Strange
Wonder how they make the new headerfiles ?
There's no patches to avr-libc 1.80
Else nice work ATMEL

As we have your attention here can you comment on SprinterSB's post here:
http://www.avrfreaks.net/index.php?name ... 008#973008
Not being able to do integer multiplication is pertty fundamental! That bug was raised against Atmel's 4.5.1 which was known to be a real dog's breakfast but can you give absolute confirmation that it is fixed in their 4.6.2 release.
As in the sticky above I would recommend people just use Atmel's AVR Toolchain now but there's no way it can be recommended if integer multiplication does not work. |

Two problems Dean,
1: the webpage lists it as version 3.4.0 (maybe that's Atmel's version).
2: I'm asked to register and I NEVER get an email back! |
