How to use Xplained board with SAMA5D36 Microncrontroller (without OS on the board)

Hello,

You may want to look at Free RTOS Cortex-A5 demonstrated on a SAMA5D4 embedded Microprocessor from Atmel for ideas of using the bare hardware. Clem

You may be better off with a different board if you don't require an OS on board.
With this board, you're paying for features you cannot make use of (easily and simultaneously) if you don't run an OS. For example the memory controller, GigEth, USB..
Although it is possible to use your own code, to use these features effectively (and together), then it's easier with an OS, and possibly near-impossible to
practically manage code that handles multiple complex pieces of functionality without an OS (and multiple complex pieces of functionality is what the creators of the Cortex-A intended it to run).
