Yes [1] [2] [3]. Only Hello-World / proof of concept kind of code for
now. There are no fundamental issues, just a lack of time to finish
this. I've focused on small and optimized codegen rather than nice
examples for now. It also uses the avr-libc instead of custom startup
code (because of lack of time). 

The next step is generating all the register wrappers. It's a very
tedious task but I've got a script 90% ready to parse the register
tables out of the Atmel pdfs. The output should still be checked
manually though. Unfortunately I don't have time to work on this for
now, but I'll get back to it at some point ;-)
