Fellow contenders, how far did you get with the Atmel SMART SAMA5D4 Xplained Ultra board?
What are you going to do with this kit in your project?
Have you been able to use it for your Enchanted Object?

This brings memories of last year.

Have you fired up one of the boards? I gave mine to a Linux expert who likes a challenge.
More like "mission impossible" lol
At least he's going to give it a try rather than it sitting in my drawer. He already knew about the Yocto project so I guess he knows more than I do.
I have spent many many hours on that board.
In the end I could build and cross-build bare metal and linux programs in C++ on it.
But given that I already had those skills before I started with the SAMA5D4, it should have taken me maximum a week, not the 3 months that I invested in it.
I still think it is a great board. The doco wasn't good enough when we started, but improved very well. But the support community isn't one I'd like to use any more in my future life. I'm not sure if Atmel realises what impact some of the participants have on your enthusiasm to give the board a go.
I looked at Yocto and found it is more a method than a cure. If he does find the key, please share with me so I can sleep better at night.
