Fantastic! Thanks Rene :-)

I've increased the length of the pins on the atr0635 to 300mm, which
makes the pin names easier to read, but otherwise committed these as is.
I've noticed a couple things with the atr0635 that could do with fixing
though:
- There's a duplicate pin (C4) - VCC2 should be E4. Kicad has a 'test
duplicate pins' function in the library editor (it's a magnifying glass
with a tick on it) which is worth running after editing a device.
- where signals are inverted, we're using nNAME labels, where the
lowercase 'n' indicates the negation, and the uppercase NAME is the
signal. It would be clearer if all the 'n's were lowercase where used
to signify an inverted signal, even if the datasheet lists uses all
caps. Where a pin does have more than one use, only use inverted pin
symbol if all the uses are inverted.

Heh - more fun multi-purpose pins :-)
Where these have multiple uses, it would be good to list all the uses,
as we have on the CPU. This makes it easier if we decide to change our
use of the device, and allows for re-use in a different circuit. Some
of these pins have three or more possible uses (such as
P17/GPSMODE5/SCK1, P20/TIMEPULSE/SCK2) and it would be good to list them
all.
Thanks for your work Rene - it's great to have got all the components
drawn!
Cheers,
Dave
