Yes, I got also no answer on my questions from Atmel. I spoke with some 
guys on embedded world fare and thought I am now in contact, but not one 
email was answered... so I drop developing simulavrxx and stop also 
using the devices for commercial projects ... yes, thats really bad! 
Good hardware, but no chance to do real work without tools and 
support... but support on ARM is not always better... have you ever 
tried to get response from ST :-)
