Tunrs on an LED at pin PB20, which is on the SAM7x256 Eval Kit.

outr(PIOB_PER, 0x00100000); //enable pio control
outr(PIOB_OER, 0x00100000); //enable the output on the I/O line
outr(PIOB_SODR, 0x00100000); //enable the led

then to turn it off, you just do

outr(PIOB_CODR, 0x00100000); //disable the led

Cheers,
