2.2 Evaluation Board Specifications
2.3 Electrostatic Warning
WARNING: ESD-Sensitive Electronic Equipment!
The Evaluation Kit is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board system must not be sub-
jected to high electrostatic potentials.
We strongly recommend using a grounding strap or similar ESD protective device when handling the
board in hostile ESD environments (offices with synthetic carpet, for example). Avoid touching the com-
ponent pins or any other metallic element on the board.

Power Up
3.1 Power up the Board
Unpack the board taking care to avoid electrostatic discharge. Unpack the power supply, select the right
power plug adapter corresponding to that of your country, and insert it in the power supply.
Connect the power supply DC connector to the board and plug the power supply to an AC power plug.
The board LCD should light up and display a welcome page. Then, click or touch icons displayed on the
screen and enjoy the demo (the red ones need to be replaced by demo software).
3.2 Sample Code and Technical Support
After boot up, you can run some sample code or your own application on the development kit. You can
download sample code and get technical support from the Atmel website:
http://www.atmel.com/products/at91/
Linux software and demos can be found on linux4sam website:

Evaluation Kit Hardware
4.1 Introduction
The Atmel SAMA5D3 series Evaluation Kit is a fully-featured evaluation platform for the Atmel
SAMA5D3 series microcontroller. The evaluation kit allows users to extensively evaluate, prototype and
create application-specific designs.
The Atmel SAMA5D3 series Evaluation Kit is a new platform architecture based on a Main Board, five
Computer Modules equipped with a SAMA5D3 series processor and an optional Display Module which
provides a maximum of flexibility regarding its usage.
The SAMA5D3 series Evaluation Kit consists of three boards:
The Computer Module board (CM), is a single-board-computer that integrates all the core components
and is mounted onto an application specific main board (MB). The Computer Module have specified
pinouts based on the SODIMM200 connector. It provides the functional requirements for an
embedded application. These functions include, but are not limited to, graphics, audio, mass storage,
network and multiple serial and USB ports. A single SODIMM200 connector provides the main board
interface to carry all the I/O signals to and from the Computer Module.
The Main Board (MB) provides all the interface connectors required to attach the system to the
application specific peripherals. This versatility allows the designer to create a densely packed
solution, which results in a more reliable product while simplifying system integration.
The Display Module board (DM) integrates LCD, TouchScreen and Qtouch®technology

Section 5
Computer Module (CM)
5.1 Board Overview
The CM (CPU Module) board is the heart of the system. It connects to the Main Board through a SO-
DIMM200 interface. It carries the SAMA5D3 series processor and external memories. The CM board
serves as a minimal CPU sub-system. All the 4 processors
SAMA5D31/SAMA5D33/SAMA5D34/SAMA5D35 share the same CM circuitry with minor configuration
settings.
The CM connects to a carrier board containing its connectors, power supply and any expansion I/O,
through a standard gold-plated SODIMM 200-pin connection.
Note: There are four CM boards from two different manufacturers. The four processors are implemented as
shown in Table 5-1 below:
The four CM boards share the same circuitry design with different designator information and PCB lay-
outs. The circuitry reference in this guide, for common design parts, refers to schematics from SAMA5D3
series-CM (mfg2). All the other schematics are provided in the Section 5.4 ”EMBEST Schematics” on
page 5-21 and Section 5.5 ”RONETIX Schematics” on page 5-22.

5.2.4 Boot Options
The following table lists all the supported boot options.
5.2.4.1 Boot Configuration
In order to use SAM-BA®boot, the NAND flash and SPI data flash must be deselected.
The pushbutton PB4 (CS boot disable) in association with the PB RST allows to disable these compo-
nents during the reset and access to the ROMBoot.
5.3 Functional Blocks
5.3.1 Processor
The CM board is equipped with an Atmel ARM-based embedded MPU, as listed below, in a BGA324-ball
BGA package.
The four devices share an identical footprint. All four share the CM board PCB with minor configuration
differences.
The four devices are:
SAMA5D31
SAMA5D33
SAMA5D34
SAMA5D35
.As different interfaces can be defined using the same pins, it depends on the actual configuration of the
CPU as to which function(s) are in fact available to the Evaluation Kit board.
The Atmel SAMA5D3 series is a high-performance, power-efficient embedded MPU based on the ARM®
Cortex™-A5 processor, achieving 536 MHz with power consumption levels below 0.5 mW in low-power mode.
The device features a floating point unit for high-precision computing and accelerated data processing, and a
high data bandwidth architecture. It integrates advanced user interface and connectivity peripherals and
security features.
The SAMA5D3 series features an internal multi-layer bus architecture associated with 39 DMA channels to
sustain the high bandwidth required by the processor and the high-speed peripherals. The device offers
support for DDR2/LPDDR/LPDDR2 and MLC NAND Flash memory with 24-bit ECC.
The comprehensive peripheral set includes an LCD controller with overlays for hardware-accelerated image
composition, a touchscreen interface and a CMOS sensor interface. Connectivity peripherals include Gigabit
EMAC with IEEE1588, 10/100 EMAC, multiple CAN, UART, SPI and I2C. With its secure boot mechanism,

hardware accelerated engines for encryption (AES, TDES) and hash function (SHA), the SAMA5D3 ensures
anti-cloning, code protection and secure external data transfers.
Please refer to Section 2.2 ”Evaluation Board Specifications” on page 2-3 for details.
The processor runs at frequencies up to 536 MHz for the core and up to 166 MHz for the system bus.
5.3.2 Clock Circuitry
The CM includes 3 clock sources:
Two clocks are alternatives for the SAMA5D3 series processor main clock
One crystal oscillator is used for the Ethernet RGMII chip
5.3.3 Reset Circuitry
The reset sources for CM board are:
Power on reset
Pushbutton reset (Pushbutton is equipped on Main Board)
JTAG reset from an in-circuit emulator (JTAG interface is equipped on MB)
5.3.4 Power Supplies
The CM board is driven by +3.3V input power rail from MB board through the SODIMM200 connector.
The CM board embeds all necessary power rails required for the microprocessor.
When additional voltages are required, they are generated on board from the 3.3V supply (power source
is a linear regulator or a switching regulator). The detailed power supply requirements for given modules
are specified within the corresponding product documentation.
The following table summarizes the power specifications.
