The Atmel
SAM4E Xplained Pro evaluation kit is a hardware platform to
evaluate the ATSAM4E16E microcontroller.
Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit
provides easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAM4E16E and
explains how to integrate the device in a custom design.
The Xplained Pro MCU series evaluation kits include an on-board
Embedded Debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program or
debug the ATSAM4E16E.
The Xplained Pro extension series evaluation kits offers additional
peripherals to extend the features of the board and ease the development of
custom designs.
