Setting Up the AT91EB55 Evaluation Board Electrostatic The AT91EB55 Evaluation Board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The board must not be subjected to high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or similar Warning protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the compo- nent pins or any other metallic element.
Consumption on further details. AT91M55800A Testing the In order to test the AT91EB55 Evaluation board, the following procedure should be performed: AT91EB55 Evaluation Board 1. Hold down the SW1 button and power up the board or generate a reset and wait for the light sequence on each LED to complete.

Section 3 The On-board Software AT91EB55 The AT91EB55 Evaluation Board contains an AT49BV16X4 Flash device programmed with default software. Only the lowest eight 8-Kbyte sectors are used. The remaining Evaluation Board sectors are user-definable and can be programmed using one of the Flash downloader solutions offered in the AT91 library.
Downloader reset. The procedure is as follows: 1. Connect the AT91EB55 Evaluation Board to the host PC serial A connection using the straight serial cable provided. 2. Power on or press RESET, simultaneously holding down the SW2 button. Wait for D2 to light up and then release SW2.

Select Decode feature of the AT91 SPI peripheral (PCSDEC bit of the SPI Mode Register). Note: The AT91EB55 is fitted with two 128K x 8 SRAM devices and one AT45DB321 serial DataFlash device (U21). The AT91EB55 may be fitted with a Flash using either an AT49BV1604 (CB18 should be closed) or an AT49BV1614 (CB18 should be open).
Serial Port B (P4) is a DB9 male connector with TXD and RXD obeying the standard RS-232 pin-out. Apart from TXD, RXD and Ground, the other pins are not connected. A MAX3223 device U10 and associated bulk storage capacitors provide RS-232 level conversion. AT91EB55 Evaluatuon Board User Guide 1709B–ATARM–07/02...
