Setting Up the AT91EB42 Evaluation Board Electrostatic The AT91EB42 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 See Section 5 for further details. the AT91M42800 Testing the To test the AT91EB42 Evaluation Board, perform the following steps: AT91EB42 1. Hold down the SW1 button and power-up the board, or generate a reset and wait Evaluation Board for the light sequence on each LED to complete.
Section 3 The On-board Software AT91EB42 The AT91EB42 Evaluation Board embeds an AT49BV1604 Flash memory device pro- grammed with default software. Only the lowest 8 x 8 KB sectors are used. The Evaluation Board remaining sectors are user definable, and can be programmed using one of the Flash downloader solutions offered in the AT91 library.
When Angel starts, it recopies itself in SRAM in order to run faster. The SRAM used by Angel is from 0x02020000 to 0x02040000, i.e., the highest half part of the SRAM. The Angel on the AT91EB42 Evaluation Board can be upgraded regardless of the ver- sion programmed on it.
-standard 20-pin box header (P5) is provided to enable connection of an ICE interface to the JTAG inputs on the AT91. This allows code to be developed on the board without using system resources such as memory and serial ports. AT91EB42 Evaluation Board User Guide...
SRAM devices. Note: The AT91EB42 is fitted with two 128K x 8 SRAM devices. A footprint is provided for the user to fit a multi-chip device memory that embeds Flash (1 MB) and SRAM (128 KB) in a single component in place of the Flash and SRAM devices (U7: M36W108AB from ST).
The board is provided with four mounting holes, one at each corner, into which feet are attached. The board has two signal layers and two power planes. AT91EB42 Evaluation Board User Guide...
