Hello

If I have a EB40A board from atmel and accidently delete the angel
debug monitor, will i be able to restore it? is the angel code
available to download?

You can get it from someone else who has the board, if nothing else...
but why not make a backup immediately?

You will need JTAG hardware to reflash the board if you destroy the
flash contents.

No but it's on the ARM Firmware Suite CD which was shipped with every ARM
development board under the sun but probably not with your Atmel board. It
shouldn't be difficult to obtain a copy though. Obviously you need a
compiler.

Don't know about the Atmel boards but the ARM boards have a minmal monitor
in ROM and you can reflash them using the serial port.

That CD doesn't come with the Atmel boards. Also I don't think generic
code will run on them.

If you blow away Angel, you blow away the boot monitor too. JTAG
hardware is required.
