Hello,

SAM7X support was not active thrown out, but some bitrot may have
happened as most of the changes are STM32 related and not ethernet
related.
On my system, I can compile  e.g. the httpd_upnp example for a
nucleo_f767zo board and for the sam7eth. When compiling for the
at91sam7se_ek, at first 
<command-line>:0:7: fatal error: arch/arm/board/at91sam7se_ek.h: No such file or directory
happend, but simple creating an empty board file made the compile
succeed.

I use
https://developer.arm.com/tools-and-software/open-source-software/developer-tools/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm.

There is not much traffic on this list. Harald is busy with other
task. But some ethernet related issues and solutions have been
discussed. Check first the mailing list archive.

Git log on the ethernet related files may also show what happened. Look
at http://ethernut.de/en/download/index.html how to get and update a
git svn repo.

Hope this helps

Uwe
