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'm still recovering from the experience
