Scope The AT91EB63 Evaluation Board enables real-time code development and evaluation. It supports the AT91M63200 and AT91M43300. This user guide focuses on the AT91EB63 Evaluation Board as an evaluation and dem- onstration platform: Section 1 provides an overview. Section 2 describes how to set up the evaluation board.

The AT91EB63 Evaluation Board can also be used to evaluate the AT91M43300, as it is similar to the AT91M63200 without the MPI feature. When used with an AT91M43300, the MPI expansion connector on the AT91EB63 is not used. AT91EB63 Evaluation Board User Guide Downloaded from Elcodis.com...
Setting Up the AT91EB63 Evaluation Board Electrostatic The AT91EB63 Evaluation Board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging. The Warning board must not be subjected to high electrostatic conditions. A grounding strap or similar protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the compo- nent pins or any other metallic element.
Setting Up the AT91EB63 Evaluation Board Jumper Settings E8 is used to select the clock frequency. The origin of the clock frequency is a 25 MHz on-board oscillator (default) or external source via the EBI extension connector. E7 is used to boot on standard or user programs. For standard operations, set it in the STD position.
Setting Up the AT91EB63 Evaluation Board Testing the In order to test the AT91EB63 evaluation board, the following procedure must be followed: AT91EB63 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 AT91EB63 The AT91EB63 Evaluation Board embeds an AT49BV1604 Flash device programmed with default software. Only the lowest 8 x 8K byte sectors are used. The remaining sec- Evaluation Board tors are user-definable, and can be programmed using one of the Flash downloader solutions offered in the AT91 library.
SRAM used by the Angel is from 0x2020000 to 0x2040000, for example, the highest half of the SRAM. The Angel on the AT91EB63 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 channels are configured and running.
(see Appendix A). VCC3V3 and Ground are also available on this connector. When the E2 configuration strap is open, the user can connect the EBI expansion connector to the MPI expansion connector of another AT91EB63 Evaluation Board without fearing any conflict problem. 4.2.3 MPI Expansion...
Kbyte EEPROM and two 128K/512K x 8 SRAM devices. Note: The AT91EB63 is fitted with two 128K x 8 SRAM devices. Strap E7 shown on this schematic is used to select the part of the1-Mbyte Flash that is to be accessed. This is to enable users to Flash download a user-defined application into the second part of the Flash and to boot from it.
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. AT91EB63 Evaluation Board User Guide Downloaded from Elcodis.com...

Open AT91 A23/CS4 signal connected to the EBI expansion connector (P1-B21). This authorizes users to connect the EBI expansion connector of this board to the MPI expansion connector of another AT91EB63 board without conflict problems.

MPI Chip Select Selection When connecting the MPI expansion connector of this board to the EBI expansion connector of another Atmel evaluation board, the MPI is selected by the NCS2 select signal. When connecting the MPI expansion connector of this board to the EBI expansion connector of another Atmel evaluation board, the MPI is selected by the NCS3 select signal.
The E14 strap enables the user to connect the electrical and mechanical grounds. (E14) Increasing The AT91EB63 Evaluation Board is supplied with two 128K x 8 byte SRAM memories. If, however, the user needs more than 256K bytes of memory, the user can replace Memory Size these devices with two 512K x 8, 3.3V, 10/15 ns SRAMs, giving in total 1024K bytes.
