AVR64 processor support

[yuisakazume]

Issue Description

I am making keyboard using AVR64DU32 but qmk does not support AVR64.
Is there the plan to support AVR64?
If no, I would like to try AVR64 support, is there any good documentation to learn more about the qmk firmware implementation other than docs.qmk.fm?

No, it is not supported.

Adding support requires support in either LUFA or ChibiOS. Neither of which include support for these currently, which means support would have to be added to those first, before support for QMK could even be considered.

Thanks for the answer. I will research about LUFA.

@yuisakazume please contact me should you want to compare notes on a plan to design a KB based on this MCU as I am building one as well (unibody, 90 keys), and will design both the pcb and firmware. I may or may not design a usb bootloader for it as it’s easy to flash using updi provided you expose the updi pin on the pcb. It will be at least partly lufa inspired, and obviously significantly qmk inspired, and hence it may be possible to port my implementation back to lufa and qmk one day.

@JonathanFerron Thnaks for the comment.

I am familiar with HW, especially PIC rather than SW dev. Atmel/AVR was the first time but it not so difficult to me.
In other hand, My journey into building my own keyboard using QMK has just begun, so I don't have much knowledge.
At biginning, I bult 8-keys and two encoders keybord for larning. I would like to make 60% keybord with pointing device in the feature.

Your implimentation would be help for me so I follow you and would part in to the discussin if I have an idea.
