I was thinking on avrice, that as much I know SHOULD have gdb interface
that serves the device over TCP/IP using gdb serial protocol. If this is
so, then there is needed basically minimal hardware for testing
(device, ice tool and power supply if not USB powered). I hope that if
the new device has JTAG debugging support, then the tests can be done.

I would develop the testsuite because of the need to test avr-libc.
Ofcourse at one point it would become useful in general.
