I was recently given an Atmel NGW100 board (AVR32) and have been learning about it.
I have gotten to the point where I can load root and /usr images to the board and run them.
What I need to do now is to be able to load the root and /usr images off of the board and store them on the hard drive of my host computer.
That way I can switch OSs (Linux and FreeRTOS, at first) and restore each to the state it was in when I last had it loaded.
Have you tried to mount the entire file system through NFS to your Atmel NGW100 board. That way you make visible to your board a certain part of your hard disk and all changes remain stored on your hard disk.

Gave the issue some more thought.
If you insert an SD-Card with Linux, and change the bootcmd/bootargs in U-Boot, you could boot that Linux, and once running, you can copy the contents of the parallel flash and the dataflash to the SD-Card using the "dd" command.
Remove the SD-Card and insert in a flash card reader connected to a Linux machine. Mount the flash card, and copy the files to your hard disk.
