Product Name> microcontroller. This board is designed to allow an easy evaluation of USB Mass Storage using demonstration software. The ATEVK525 board has been designed to be plugged into the Atmel STK525 Starter Kit Board in order to add Mass Storage capability to an existing development board, and to combine them with other features (USB, RS232, Microphone..., but also all AVR...
Getting started 2.1.1 Plugging the board The ATEVK525 is an extension board that must be plugged on another microcontroller hosting board, like STK525 (AT90USBxxx support), that provides supply voltage. Figure 2-1 . Connecting the ATEVK525 under the STK525 ATEVK525 can also be plugged onto the STK525, but in this configuration,...

Using the ATEVK525 2.1.2 Power supply The ATEVK525 must be powered with a voltage between 2.8 and 3.5V. Before connecting or powering the boards, you must ensure the power supply configuration on the motherboard. The voltage must be set to 3.3V (microcontroller I/O levels), and this voltage must be present on the VTG pins of the EXPAND connectors.
(see photo above). NAND Flash 2.2.1 Default device The ATEVK525 comes with one NAND Flash chip soldered. At the time of writing, this chip is the Micron MT29F2G08AACWP that features: 2 GBits (256 MBytes) organized as: – 2048 blocks –...

NAND Flash Module Description If another memory device is required for development or evaluation purpose, it is still possible to install it on the ATEVK525 through an additional module as described below. The board provides two SIP-13 receptacle footprints (2.54mm pitch). Users can solder a receptacle on the board and then insert a NAND Flash module described below, or directly solder the module.
