If the AVR is to interpret gcode, then you have no need for EMC2, which performs the same function. Some other gcode generator (e.g. you or CAM software has to generate gcode used by EMC2, whether the GUI used is AXIS, tkemc, or another.) If the AVR board takes an SD card, you can carry the gcode text file to it in your pocket. Is there a mailing list for the project (or community in which the project is happening)? I'm interested in the ATXmega, and had considered taking the embedded path to machine control, before succumbing to the convenience of having so much work already done, and linux to boot! The presence of quadrature encoder inputs on the ATXmega, and ability to shunt hardware signals around without consuming CPU cycles, are both rather nifty attributes. I looked here: http://blog.synthetos.com/tag/cnc/ but saw only mechanical stuff. Is there a schematic? Are you using Eagle? And the GNU toolchain? But all that quickly becomes OT here, so another list would be handy. It sounds rather interesting.
