AT91SAM7 samples

Started by Mark Borgerson April 25, 2005
Hi,

Does anyone know of a source for samples of any of the chips in the
AT91SAM7 line?  My standard net searches show only the dev kits
at $250.   I don't really want another dev kit, since I already
have the full IAR ARM compiler and have done several designs
with the AT91R40807.   I'd like to put together a small PCB
to test the SAM7 series as a replacement for the AT91 controllers
in some low-end products.  In particular, I need to add 
an SPI Data Flash and 16 to 24-bit SPI  ADC---which is usually
a pain on the dev kit boards.

Atmel themselves don't seem very good at supplying samples. My distributor (DTE in the UK) is very helpful, though. Leon
