There are a lot of AT91 evaluation-boards available and you do not even
mention which AT91 is mounted. Without further information it's
difficult to help.

Martin's right, there ARE a lot of developement boards out there.

I am also new to ARM. I have the AT91SAM7S-EK development board, which
contains the AT91SAM7S64 part. I also have the J-Link-ARM-IAR
jtag-to-USB converter for debug. I would really like to learn to use the
GCC developement environment.

I would like to set up a development environment, and then:

1. flash an led to make sure I got the environment right
2. use USB Mass Storage Device class to work
3. Implement a FAT16 file system

After I do this, I will have my own memory stick.

How do I get started?

'Sorry guys it's a AT91EB40 board and a reference site where I can get
examples will be appreciated'

Did you check at91.com->kit? At least for the SAM7s Atmel provides
examples there. The AT91R4000-series is supported by open-source FTOSes
like ecos and FreeRTOS too. IRC the ARM-port of ethernut is also based
on this controller. Basicly you need a linker-script and startup-code
which should be available in the projects.
