Evaluation platform for the ATSAMV71Q21 and other Atmel ARM Cortex-M7-based MCUs

Atmel's SMART SAM V71 Xplained Ultra evaluation kit is now available from Digi-Key. The hardware platform is designed to evaluate the ATSAMV71Q21 and other Atmel ARM Cortex-M7-based microcontrollers Atmel's SMART ARM-based automotive microcontrollers focus on in-vehicle infotainment connectivity for audio amplifiers, telematic control units, or head units. The SAM V ARM Cortex-M7-based microcontroller series provides the best combination of connectivity interfaces including Ethernet AVB, MediaLB, USB, and CAN-FD along with the highest performance ARM Cortex-M core delivering up to 1500 CoreMarks. The SAM V70 is specifically designed for MediaLB connectivity along with advanced audio processing by leveraging the unique multi-port memory architecture and advanced Cortex-M7 DSP capabilities. The SAM V71 mirrors the SAM V70 series features in addition to combining Ethernet-AVB and MediaLB connectivity, says the company.
