FPGA provides 8256 four-input Lookup Table (LUT) equivalents, corresponding to approximately 84000 gates in the AT91CAP7 MP Block. Headers providing 120 general-purpose I/O connections from the AT91CAP7A, and from the FPGA, for application-specific external interfaces JTAG interface for AT91CAP7 JTAG programming, and a USB-Blaster-JTAG interface for Cyclone 2 JTAG programming.
Introduction AT91CAP7A Starter Kit Development Tools The AT91CAP7A Starter Kit was designed with the goal of allowing user to get started immediately with no additional software development tool cost. ™ A free evaluation version IAR Systems software compiler and debugger tool is available at: www.iar.com.
Requirements General Description The AT91CAP7A-STK’s objective is to provide a rapid evaluation of the AT91CAP7A product and its derivatives. It does not allow a full emulation of a customized version of the AT91CAP7, but is intended to familiarize the user with the customization concept and architecture of the AT91CAP7.

The CAP7_RESETn line is connected to the nRST pin of the AT91CAP7 device. Just how the AT91CAP7A responds to level transitions on the nRST pin is dependent on several user iinterface soft- ware conditions. By default, the AT91CAP7A does not repond to transition on it’s nRST pin, unless the URSTEN bit has previously been set.
An ARM-standard 20pin box header (J4) is the connection point for a standard JTAG-ICE tool. When used in conjuction with a software debugger, users can target and execute program code from the AT91CAP7A’s internal 160KB of SRAM. By connecting an Altera Byte Blaster probe to the JTAG box header (J16), users program the EPCS4 FPGA serial configuration device with their desired FPGA functions.
