With Grasshopper is a free platform for the AVR32 development in the context of a common project with Embedded Projects and In-Circuit GmbH arose. The project is published under the name Grasshopper (which is also the name for the open source project) and in parallel by the company In-Circuit under the name ICnova AP7000 Base.



The aim was to provide a powerful and yet inexpensive platform for AVR32 developments as an open source project to create. That means everything is published with an free open source license - really all!
