Actually, I and Filip Navara implemented AT91SAM7X and at91sam9263
support for qemu, one of the most recent version can be found here:
git://github.com/Dushistov/qemu_at91sam9263.git
It can run linux, freertos, ecos.
So if there is interest, I can create binaries of qemu for linux OS,
so maintainers who have sam7 hardware, but have no sam9, or
vice versa, or completly have no development boards can run
and test eCos.
