It had been discussed to use the Configurator to automatically copy target-dependent samples to the app directory. However, so far nothing happened.

Another solution is to use any of the configuration macros to ifdef code parts, e.g.

#if defined(MCU_AT91)
  InitAt91Dma(foo);	
#else
  puts("DMA is not supported on your hardware");
#endif

As long as the source compiles and the binary executes, then everything is fine.

You're welcome. B.t.w. are you using an English keyboard? y is quite far away from u on the German key layout.
