MCHPSAM9X60 Curiosity Development Board
Overview
The EV40E67A is a low-cost evaluation platform for the SAM9X60 microprocessor, an ARM926EJ-S based MPU running at up to 600MHz. This Curiosity board provides a complete development environment with integrated memory, networking interfaces, and expansion headers for rapid prototyping. It is designed to bridge the gap between high-performance microcontrollers and sophisticated Linux-based microprocessor systems.
Why Choose This Part
This board simplifies Linux deployment on ARM9 hardware by providing a proven reference design with DDR and Flash memory already integrated. It features Raspberry Pi compatible headers and MikroBus sockets, allowing engineers to leverage a massive ecosystem of existing click boards and HATs for rapid hardware expansion.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Start by downloading the Linux4SAM distribution to create a bootable SD card for the board. Development can be performed using the MPLAB X IDE or standard cross-compilation toolchains for ARM. The board includes an on-board debugger (EDBG), so no external JTAG hardware is required for initial programming and console access.
