[En-Nut-Discussion] Ethernut for ARM7

[Harald Kipp]

Greg,

Crossworks is based on GCC and my assumption is, that it
should work. Michael Fischer actually used it for the
LPC-E2294 port of Nut/OS. See
http://www.usbdip.de/en/ethernut2294/index.html

The SAM7X is a highly integrated devices. Almost no
external devices are required. Nut/OS may probably run
on all SAM7X boards with none or nearly no modification.
Unlikely, but one point of incompatibility may be the
Ethernet PHY.
