The Atmel® SMART SAMA5D4 Xplained UltraAtmel® SMART SAMA5D4 Xplained Ultra is a member of Atmel's Xplained fast prototyping and evaluation platforms. The board is based on the Atmel SAMA5D4 microprocessor and comes with a rich set of ready-to-use connectivity, an LCD and HDMI interface, an embedded debug interface unit, as well as storage peripherals and expansion headers for easy customization. A Linux distribution and software package gets you evaluating fast. A USB device connector can be used to power the board as well as to program and debug it. Seven headers, compatible with Arduino R3 (Uno, Due) and two Xplained headers are available for various shield connections.
The SAMA5D4 series is a high-performance, power-efficient ARM Cortex-A5 processor MPU capable of running up to 528 MHz. It integrates the ARM NEON™ SIMD engine for accelerated signal processing, multimedia and graphics as well as a 128 KB L2-Cache for high system performance. The device features the ARM TrustZone® enabling a strong security perimeter for critical software, as well as several hardware security features. The device also features advanced user interface and connectivity peripherals.
Applications: The SAMA5D4 series is optimized for control panel/HMI applications needing video playback and applications that require high levels of connectivity in the industrial and consumer market. Its security features makes the SAMA5D4 well suited for secure gateways or for the IOT.

Terms & Conditions
Testers will be selected on the basis of quality of applications: we expect a full and complete description of why you want to test this particular product.
Testers are required to produce a full, comprehensive and well thought out review within 2 months of receipt of the product.
Failure to provide this review within the above timescale will result in the enrolee being excluded from future Road Tests.
I want to agree with you @shabaz. Most choices of processors come down to resource questions. The more libraries (ie interfaces needing drivers), the more ram/flash is needed to contain them. Cortex-M
I have not yet received my board. E14 India guys are not responding to my mail. Long ago, I have sent you a mail too, for which I didn't receive any response. Can you please update me on this?
Do anyone know fast graphics lib for this device. Is directFB possible? i have Download for first Test something. From the internet. In this Code the Pixels an draw with dev/fb0. Drawing for Exempele a rect has poor Performance.
I just posted the first of several videos I hope to make in order to help out the community in getting to grips with these boards as we had oh so much fun in the SAMA5D3 road test
The first one is on getting your images, uploading them to the board and using various display options, there is also a training PDF from Atmel that should provide insight (It is for a D3 but most of the examples hold true for the D4), even thought he PDF has some IO stuff in it too, I will be following up with real examples on video doing the ADC, DAC, I2C etc and posting the code / scripts I use so stay tuned
