ATMEL EB-SAM9G45 LCD evaluation board Overview
The ATMEL EB-SAM9G45 evaluation board is a new released compact board produced by Embest in 2010, based on the high-performance eMPU ATMEL AT91SAM9G45 which runs at up to 400MHz and with 64KB ROM and 64KB SRAM on-chip memories. Besides providing plenty of external memories on board, the EB-SAM9G45 has exposed a lot of functional peripherals including UARTs, hp USB host, hp USB device, Ethernet, SD/MMC, Micro SD, TFT LCD, JTAG, User extension interfaces, key buttons and IIS Audio Input/Output Jack. Meanwhile, it supports Linux2.6 and WinCE6.0, and provides free board support packages (BSPs) of these two OS. The plenty of example programs accompanying with the CD-ROM of the board will make you easily evaluate the functions of the AT91SAM9G45 processor.
 
AT91SAM9G45 Microcontroller
Atmel's SAM9G45 is a high-performance eMPU with the right peripheral mix and performance characteristics to make it the ideal solution for main powered, cost-sensitive industrial applications such as industrial & building control, HVAC, POS terminals, alarm systems, printers and medical.
 High-speed Connectivity and Intelligent User Interfaces
Combines 100 Mbps+ data rates on multiple high-speed peripherals including HS USB, Ethernet 10/100, SDIO/SDCard, MMC with advanced intelligent User Interfaces (LCD, Camera, Touch screen and audio interfaces).
 High Performance Data Speedway
Features a processor clock running at 400 MHz and a high data-bandwidth architecture based on a 12-layer bus matrix with 37 DMA channels. Dual External Bus Interface supporting distributed on- and off-chip memory.
 Next-generation Memories
Offers DDR2 and NAND Flash support, in addition to SDRAM and NOR Flash, with boot from NAND Flash, SDCard, DataFlash® or serial DataFlash.
 Low Power, Low Cost
Only 350µW/MHz at 400 MHz operation and 8µA backup mode. 3.3V IOs eliminate the need for external level shifters.
