Description

The MYD-SAMA5D3X-C Development Board is a low-cost evaluation platform for Atmel’s SAMA5D3 ARM Cortex-A5 processor-based MPU which can operate at up to 536MHz (850DMIPS) at under 150mW and is ideal for various industrial application such as control panels, smart grid devices and bar code scanners - anything that needs high levels of connectivity, enhanced user interfaces, robust security, or battery operation.

The MYD-SAMA5D3X-C Development board is using a base board for MYIR’s MCC-SAMA5D3X-C CPU Module which is a System on Module (SoM) for the heart of the system. The CPU module MCC-SAMA5D3X-C has 256MB DDR2 SDRAM, 256MB Nand Flash, 4MB Data Flash, 64KB EEPROM and Gigabit Ethernet PHY on board. It is connected with the base board through two 2.0mm pitch 80-pin male pin headers. The base board has all extended interfaces for software development including RS232 and RS485 serial ports, one 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet, two CAN, two USB Host and one USB Device, TF card, JTAG and more others. MYIR also offers 4.3- and 7-inch LCD Modules, USB WiFi, Camera, GPS and GPRS modules for this board as options. The Linux, Android SDK and detailed user manual for this board are offered to enable your rapid evaluation and development based on Atmel SAMA5D3 series processors. User can also use the MYD-SAMA5D3X-C board directly as control or display unit for your embedded products.

The MYD-SAMA5D3X-C has following models:
