Scope The AT91EB40A Evaluation Board enables real-time code development and evaluation. It supports the AT91R40008. This guide focuses on the AT91EB40A Evaluation Board as an evaluation and demon- stration platform: ! Section 1 provides an overview. ! Section 2 describes how to set up the evaluation board.
! 2 x 32-pin EBI expansion connectors ! 2 x 32-pin I/O expansion connectors ! 20-pin JTAG interface connector If required, user-defined peripherals can also be added to the board. See Section 5 for details. AT91EB40A Evaluation Board User Guide 2635C–ATARM–13-May-05...
Avoid touching the compo- nent pins or any other metallic element. Requirements In order to set up the AT91EB40A evaluation board, the following requirements are needed: ! The AT91EB40A evaluation board itself.
DDCORE ture enables the current consumption of the AT91 product to be measured. Consumption on the See “Power Consumption Measurement Straps (JP5A/B, JP7A/B)” on page 5-3 in Sec- tion 5 for further details. AT91R40008 AT91EB40A Evaluation Board User Guide 2635C–ATARM–13-May-05...

Section 3 The On-board Software The AT91EB40A The AT91EB40A Evaluation Board embeds an AT49BV1604 or AT49BV1614 Flash memory device programmed with default software. Evaluation Board When delivered, the Flash memory device contains: ! the Boot Software Program ! the Functional Test Software (FTS)
The procedure is as follows: 1. Connect the Serial A (or B ) port of the AT91EB40A Evaluation Board to a host PC Serial Port using the straight serial cable provided. 2. Start the AT91Loader.exe program available in the AT91 Library on the host com- puter.
SRAM used by Angel is from 0x00020000 to 0x0003FFFF, i.e., the highest half part of the internal SRAM. The Angel on the AT91EB40A Evaluation Board can be upgraded regardless of the ver- sion programmed on it. Note that if the debugger is started through ICE while the Angel monitor is on, the Advanced Interrupt Controller (AIC) and the USART channel are enabled.

Memories The schematic (Figure 6-2 on page 6-3 in Section 6, “Appendix B – Schematics”) shows two 128K/512K x 8 SRAM devices that can be added to the AT91EB40A. Note: The AT91EB40A evaluation board does not feature any external SRAM. The user can add SRAM ranging in size from 256K bytes x 16 bits to 1M byte x 16 bits.
NWDOVF of the AT91R40008 is connected on its input /MR. The assertion of this reset signal lights the red RESET LED (D10). By pressing the CLEAR RESET push button (S2), the LED is turned off. AT91EB40A Evaluation Board User Guide 2635C–ATARM–13-May-05...
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. AT91EB40A Evaluation Board User Guide 2635C–ATARM–13-May-05...
