On the AT91SAM7S, can the VCC risetime be slower than that of Vcore?
The data sheet implies this, but does not actually state it.
I'm fighting a problem that appears once in a great while, where it appears
that the CPU fails to boot.
We've identified VCC rise as an issue, TST tied to GND with 1k (changing
that to 0 ohms ASAP).
Hi from new member, with VCC risetime question for the SAM7S

Datasheet:
"During startup, core supply voltage (VDDCORE) slope must be superior or
equal to 6V/ms."
Atmel FAQ:
Most known SAM7 Boot Problems Question
What are the most known boot problems for SAM7?
Answer
1- VDDCORE slope constraint of 6V/ms. Only for the AT91SAM7S and AT91SAM7X.
Applicable to VDDIN when using the on-chip voltage regulator to power
VDDCORE.
If you're still having problems I'd review checklist:

Then contact local FAE, and keep in mind rev. C die release imminent.
