Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained Quick Start Guideįrom the link provided on the “Overview card”, you can download SAMA5D3 MPU datasheet, the board brief, design and manufacturing files, and user’s guide, as well as a Getting Started Guide, which I’ll try out in this post. I’ve also shot an unboxing video for those interested. On the back we’ll find the SD card slot, and again, the markings for the Arduino compatible connectors. Bottom of Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained (Click to Enlarge) Bear in mind these only support 3.3V, not 5V. On the top of the board, we’ll find the 2 USB host connectors, and 2 Ethernet connectors (GMAC and EMAC) on the right, the micro USB port, as well as pads to solder an external power supply and a micro SD slot on the left, reset, wake up and user buttons, as well as JTAG, LCD, and debug (serial) connectors at the bottom, and around the MPU and memories, the Arduino UNO R3 compatible headers with the names of the different pins. Top of Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained Board (Click to Enlarge) Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained Package Content (Click to Enlarge) The board is compliant with both CE and FCC standards. In the package you’ve got the board, a micro USB to USB cable for power and programming, and a small card entitled “Overview and Compliance Information” which gives a list of key features, a link to get started, which I’ll use later, and some EU compliance informations regarding RoHS2 and EMC. There’s also a QR core, but it just returns the board name of some production numbers and dates, no links. I’ve been sent the board via DHL in the following package, which gives a short desscription of the board, and what it is used for. The board can be purchased for $79 from Atmel e-Store, as well as several distributors (P/N: ATSAMA5D3-XPLD).
ATMEL USB CDC ACM HOW TO
I’ll first post some unboxing pictures, show how to get started with the pre-installed image, and build my own Linux image. The company kindly sent me a sample, so that I can share my experience with the board.

You can check full specs on my Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained announcement post. The only video output is an LCD connector so it is reserved for headless or flat panel based applications. This embedded board targets industrial automation, networks, robotics, control panels and wearable applications. Atmel SAMA5D3 Xplained is an evaluation board running Linux powered by SAMA5D36 ARM Cortex A5 micro-processor with 256 MB DDR2, 256 MB flash, two Ethernet ports, 3 USB connectors, and more.
