Introduction
The Atmel SAMA5D3 series evaluation kit is a fully-featured evaluation platform for Atmel SAMA5D3 series
microcontrollers. The evaluation kit allows users to extensively evaluate, prototype and create application-specific
designs.
The Atmel SAMA5D3 series evaluation kit is a platform architecture based on a main board, a computer module
equipped with a SAMA5D3 series processor and an optional display module, providing maximum flexibility for kit users.
The SAMA5D3 series evaluation kit consists of three boards:
The computer module (CM) board, is a single-board computer that integrates all the core components and is
mounted onto an application-specific main board (MB). The computer module has specified pinouts based on the
SODIMM200 connector. It provides the functional requirements for an embedded application. These functions
include, but are not limited to, graphics, audio, mass storage, network and multiple serial and USB ports. A single
SODIMM200 connector provides the main board interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from the computer
module.
The main board (MB) provides all the interface connectors required to attach the system to the application specific
peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a densely-packed solution, which results in a more
reliable product while simplifying system integration.
The display module board (DM) integrates LCD, touchscreen and Qtouch
