 | Kit Overview
The Atmel's ATSAM3X-EKATSAM3X-EK Evaluation Kit lets designers quickly evaluate and develop code for applications running on Atmel SAM3X and SAM3A microcontrollers. It has enough features to demonstrate most of the product’s capabilities to its users. The SAM3X-EK also features extension connectors to allow users to add new interfaces in case they are not on-board.
The ATSAM3X-EKATSAM3X-EK board is based on the integration of an ARM
The SAM3X8H chip embeds:
The SAM3X8H features an External Bus Interface (EBI) that permits interfacing to a broad range of external memories and virtually any parallel peripheral. The ATSAM3X-EKATSAM3X-EK board is equipped with two kinds of memory devices connected to the SAM3X8H EBI:
Key Applications: The SAM3X/A devices are particularly well suited for networking applications such as industrial and home/building automation, gateways. | |||||||||||
