The procedure is as follows: 1. Connect the Serial A or B port of the AT91EB42 Evaluation Board to a host PC Serial port using the straight serial cable provided. 2. Start the AT91Loader.exe program available in the AT91 Library on the host com- puter.
AT91M42800A and AT91M55800A”, literature number 1740A. A PLL Filter Calcula- tor Tool is also available. See “Automatic_calculation_xls.zip”. Power-down The AT91EB42 Evaluation Board is delivered with a battery unit to supply the board when the main power supply is removed. The aim of the power-down demonstration is Demonstration to save the battery unit.

-standard 20-pin box header (P5) is provided to enable connection of an ICE interface to the JTAG inputs on the AT91. This allows code to be developed on the board without using system resources such as memory and serial ports. AT91EB42 Evaluation Board User Guide Rev. 1708C–ATARM–12-May-05...
Analog-to-digital An on-board 4-channel, 10-bit ADC device (TLV1504 by Texas Instruments) is featured on the AT91EB42. This device is interfaced to the AT91M42800A via the SPIA periph- Converter eral and embeds its voltage reference equal to 2V. Four channels are used on the AT91EB42 for the following measurements: ! Channel 0 is used to measure the temperature near the 32.768 kHz crystal.
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. AT91EB42 Evaluation Board User Guide 1708C–ATARM–12-May-05...
