An ATMEL's guy, told me that they will add also a 256KF/64KR version with external bus interface like the AT91R40008. I heard that the AT91SAM7S64 will be priced 3.5 USD, so I let you imagine the price of the SAM7S32... I also heard that ATMEL plans to provide low cost tools, like 50 USD for the ICE interface (not the wiggler of course !!) and with good price for compiler. AT91SAM7S64 board @ less than 100 USD. a lot of fun !! What will be the perfect development package for such a micros according to you ? Hope that ATMEL will follow this discussion !!
new members coming in AT91 family

SAM7S32 ? Less pins, and less Flash/Ram, -- suggests sub $3 ? Nice to see Atmel finally join the monolithic FLASH ARM community - what took them so long ? :) -jg

SAM7S32 ? Less pins, and less Flash/Ram, -- suggests sub $3 ? > > Nice to see Atmel finally join the monolithic FLASH ARM > community - what took them so long ? :)Perhaps a reluctance to cannibalize their own AtMega sales?? One of the cited feature I like a lot about the new Atmel ARMs is the inclusion of the DMA-type peripheral data controllers. I see that the LPC210X controllers have '654 type UARTS with FIFOS, but the PDCs are even more flexible IMHO. The LP2106 dev kit is on the shelf in front of me awaiting a quiet week this summer (OTOH, 'quiet week' means no income for the self-employed). With a little luck, there'll be a quiet week this fall for the next ATMEL ARM kit. An embarassment of riches, perhaps, but I see 2-year-old applications shrinking 50% in size, cost, and power. Now if only I can find the right customer! Mark Borgerson

In addition to Philips and Atmel, a newcomer to the ARM7 general purpose microcontroller is ST.

Has anyone gotten any pricing or details yet? I can only find two documents, a flyer and a summary sheet. I can't get pricing anywhere and I have no idea where anyone would find info on the development tools.

On the AT91 Forum (www.at91.com) it is said that the AT91SAM7S Summary datasheet will be released middle of June If I well remember. For peoples interested, the best is to register to the AT91 Forum and its news letter and wait for the News to come into your mail box ;-)). prices are not yet available from distirbutors, I had this price during an embedded Show. For the tools that's the same, no real news, but that will be soon I guess !!! Bye

A: none. The Frequency given is @ 85�C, this means that at lower temp you can run faster. For example, with the AT91R40008 @ the worst case T�, it is 66MHz, but at @ 25�C you can boost this part @ 82MHz, with 256K of 32-bit 0 WS internal SRAM, this chip is flying !!! Regards,
