I'm using an Evaluation Kit (AT91SAM7S-EK) from Atmel, and early there were some forums at www.at91.com but now there gone. When I click on the forum button, the server responds with: The requested URL /www/phpBB2/main1.html was not found on this server. Does anybody know where they're gone? Steen

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the status of Atmel's AT91 support sites at http://www.at91.com and http://linux4sam.org ? They've been down for a couple of days (although the machine they're on is still pingable), and I have a support request that's been outstanding for about the same amount of time. TIA. Steve
Compiler for AT91 ARM processors

Hello experts, For a new project, I am considering the AT91 series of ARM processors from Atmel. Anybody here have experience with these processors, and the tools? I know the "which compiler is best" is a very "religionbased" question, but nevertheless I'll give it a shot. So, in your opinion, which tools is worth a look, and which is NOT? Thanking you in advance. Best regards H...
Problem using Xmodem ROM services on AT91

Hi everyone, Im using a custom board, with an AT91rm9200. Im am trying to load some code onto the microcontroller using the xmodem protocol, but things dont seem to be going right. I am using the Debug port to transmit data serially to and from Hyperterminal in windows. I am using the xmodem ROM services on the 9200. I had borrowed code from the Application example on ATmel`s site (AT91...
AT91 watchdog behavior

Hi, i'm working on a AT91SAM7X-EK development board, and i'm trying to figure out if the normal at91 watchdog behavior can be changed or workarounded because: "The Watchdog Mode Register (WDT_MR) can be written only once. Only a processor reset resets it. Writing the WDT_MR register reloads the timer with the newly programmed mode parameters." due to this feature, if i disable watchdo...

Hi there, We are porting a windows application from desktop into embedded Linux on Atmel AT91 ARM Cores, thus we need JTAG to debug the firmware under a Linux environment. However, SAM-ICE only connects via USB to a PC running Microsoft Windows2000 or XP. So I am looking for a JTAG emulator running on Linux. If you have any good idea/knowledge, could you please help? BTW, a frien...

We are looking at using the AT91SAM7S64 in a new project. We had previously tried the ATMEGA32, but it turned out to be underpowered for our needs. The program, however, was less than 100 lines of assembly code for the ATMEGA32. The AT91 does not seem quite as easy to get into as the AVR. I have the AT91SAM7S64-IAR development kit, and am having trouble figuring out where to go next. Most ...

Since I'm doing a port for an architecture using also SPI flash for booting u-boot I need to remove the existing CFG_DATAFLASH configuration which should be portable as the name says but it is hardcoded only for the AT91RM9200DK platform. Don't know which one came to this idea also naming the AT45DB driver to dataflash.c. Asking here if someone could test the my changes so not only AT91...

Hello, Has anybody already worked with this microcontroller family? Which is your opinion? They seem very interesting because they use an ARM7 core processor and include very useful communications peripherals (ethernet MAC, usb controller, ...) Does anybody know if there are free developing tools: - compiler / linker: i guess that GCC may be useful as this family uses ARM7 cores. - [b...

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 s...
AVR+Nut/OS vs. AT91+Linux

I need to produce an Ethernet-capable embedded device (including TCP/IP stack) for about $50 in low quantities (think perhaps qty 100). I can get a 2-layer board in these quantities for $13, so that leaves only about $40 for everything that goes on the board. The good news is that by far, the dominating resource consumption will be from the TCP/IP stack, and whatever OS overhead there may be...

Hi all, I have tried to look an answer for this on the web, but I mainly got "no can do" (timing issue). Kernel: 2.6.3x MCU: atmel at91 (9263) I wish to get/write a driver to bitbang a couple of gpios to emulate a uart. the communication is with a remote PIC (PIC12F683) to which I have already wrote the software and checked with linux terminal. the communication does not have to be fas...

In my new arm7 design I was biased toward the atmel AT91 seriesbecause I like the AVR chips so much, but after some research and pointers by nice foks such as rickman and Leon, I decided to look toward other manufacturer's offerings. One thing I discovered is that the flash in the atmel chips (which have it) is slow! Thus using a ball grid type package such as the AT91FR40162 with 2Meg of fla...

Hello All, I am to develop some medium size applications using the AT91 devices and have been presented with the IAR Embedded Workbench for Arm ( initially version 3.4 ) and a BDI JTag debug interface. The segmentation was a real mess especialy where the embedded libraries are concerned wich makes the relocation of code a painful process. Also during some basic tool tests the and the err...

Hi, I just started working on my 3rd year group project in elec engineering where we have to design an ECG, my part of is to connect and program an LCD to display the heart beat of the horse. We're goin to use an AT91EB55 evaluation board with an AT91M55800A on it, so far i just found the pins we're goin to use and finished wiring the LCD to the board. I know i have to use C language on ...

Looking into uC for an small embedded project. I need the following interfaces: Compact Flash with DOS File system Ethernet MAC 2 Uarts Can anyone recommend a uC that fits the bill? I'd greatly prefer avoiding an RTOS if possible--but I do need DOS file system and TCP/IP capability. So far we've looked at ZilogEZ80 Acclaim Intel Xscale Atmel AT91 ARM Maxim/Dallas DS80C400 ...

Hello, I'm currently making the initial design decisions (and hence the most important ones) about a project, which will involve a processor running Linux. The project's initial definition is to take data from an MPEG video chipset and store the stream in a long file on a Disk-on- Key. So the concept is simple: Write a driver for whatever video hardware we're going to choose (still not ...
