I was wondering if programming and running C programs is the same on the AVR 8-bit microcontrollers as it is on the AVR32's. What I'm asking is can you program a C program and load it on the AVR32 and have it only execute that program? or can you only run C programs on top of something running on the AVR32 like Linux.

The AVR32 uC3 family has built-in flash and SRAM, so they work exactly in the same way as a AVR 8-bit controller.

The AP7 family does not have built-in flash, only SRAM, and they depend on external flash connected to chip select 0. Both the STK1000 and NGW100 have flash connected (duh') and is programmable by the tools provided by Atmel.

So in general you can write standalone code (code which does not need an operating system), program the flash and execute them just like you would on AVR 8-bit.

Excellent that's what I was wondering. Thanks for the response.
