The Atmel SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Dvelopment Kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the Microchip ATSAME70Q21. The kit offers a set of features that enables the ATSAME70Q21 users to start with the SAM E70 peripherals and understand how to integrate the device in their design.
™ Install MPLAB Harmony 3 When Microchip SAM E70 Xplained Ultra is connected to the computer for the first time, the operating ® system will install a driver software. The driver file supports both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft ®...
Xplained Ultra Xplained Ultra The SAM E70 Xplained Ultra implements several Xplained Pro standards like extension headers and connectors. Xplained Pro is an evaluation platform that provides a full Microchip microcontroller experience. The platform consists of a series of Microcontroller (MCU) boards and extension boards that are integrated with the Microchip MPLAB IDE that supports data streaming.
The Data Visualizer is used to send and receive data through DGI. The EDBG controls two LEDs on SAM E70 Xplained Ultra: a power LED and a status LED. The following table describes how the LEDs are controlled in different operation modes.
System Level Block Diagram System Level Block Diagram The following figure illustrates the high-level signal block diagram of the SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Development Kit. Figure 4-1. Signal Level Block Diagram Wire buses that are tied together are connected together. In this system the SPI bus data and clock are shared across several interfaces.
Power for extension boards (3.3V) Graphics Connectors or GFX Card Interface The SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Development Kit is designed to have a modular graphics interface. This interface enables using several graphics cards, which allow for expandability and different use cases. A 565 adapter card is included in the kit, which takes 16-bit parallel LCD data and converts it to 24-bit data.
EBI tracks on the PCB using series resistors. The EBI tracks are routed as 50Ω on SAM E70 Xplained Ultra. The clock and address lines are only driven by the ATSAME70Q21B, while the data lines are driven by the ATSAME70Q21B and the on-board SDRAM.
SAM E70 The SAM E70 Xplained Ultra has a Micro-USB connector to use with the SAM E70 USB module labeled as TARGET USB on the kit. In USB Host mode, the VBUS voltage is provided by the kit, and must be enabled by setting the VBUS Host Enable pin to low.
5.10 Ethernet The SAM E70 Xplained Ultra kit has a modular Ethernet PHY system that allows for different PHYs to be plugged into the board. This interface is set up to use a Reduced Media-Independent Interface (RMII), as well as a SPI bus interface with GPIO.
