2.2 Evaluation Board Specifications
2.3 Electrostatic Warning
The SAM9G45-EKES evaluation board is shipped in a protective anti-static package. The board must
not be subjected to high electrostatic potentials. We strongly recommend using a grounding strap or sim-
ilar ESD protective device when handling the board in hostile ESD environments (offices with synthetic
carpet, for example...). Avoid touching the component 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.
3.2 Battery
The SAM9G45-EKES ships with a 3V coin battery.
This battery is not required for the board to start up.
The coin battery is provided for user convenience in case the user would like to exercise the date and
time backup function of the SAM9G45 series devices when the board is switched off.
3.3 DevStart
The on-board NAND Flash contains a “SAM9G45-EKES DevStart”.
It is stored in the “SAM9G45-EKES DevStart” folder on the USB Flash disk available when the
SAM9G45-EKES is connected to a host computer.
Click the file “welcome.html” in this folder to launch SAM9G45-EKES DevStart.
SAM9G45-EKES DevStart guides you through installation processes of IAR™ EWARM, Keil MDK and
GNU toolkits. Then, it gives you step-by-step instructions on how to rebuild a single example project and
how to program it into the SAM9G45-EKES. Optionally, if you have a SAM-ICE™, instructions are also
given about how to debug the code.
We recommend that you backup the “SAM9G45-EKES DevStart” folder on your computer before
launching it.

Power up
3-2 AT91SAM9G45-EKES User Guide
6481B–ATARM–27-Nov-09
3.4 Recovery Procedure
The DevStart ends by giving step-by-step instructions on how to recover the SAM9G45-EKES to the
state as it was when shipped by Atmel.
Follow the instructions if you deleted the contents of the embedded Flash or the NAND Flash and want
to recover from this situation.
3.5 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 Atmel website

Two are alternatives for the SAM9G45 main clock,
One crystal and one crystal oscillator are used for the Ethernet MII/RMII chip,
One crystal is used for the AC97 codec chip, and
One crystal or one crystal oscillator is used for the TV encoder.
4.2.3 Reset Circuitry
The reset sources are:
Power on reset
Push button reset
JTAG reset from an in-circuit emulator interface.
4.2.4 Memory
4.2.4.1 External Memories
The SAM9G45 features a DDR2/LPDDR memory interface and an External Bus Interface (EBI) to permit
interfacing to a wide range of external memories and to almost any kind of parallel peripheral.
The SAM9G45-EKES board is equipped with DDR2/LPDDR devices featuring 128 MB of DDR2-
SDRAM memory (Micron MT47H64M8B6-3 16Meg*8*4).
The External Bus Interface (EBI) is connected to three kinds of memory devices:
One Parallel Flash AT49SV322DT (not populated by default)
Two DDR2-SDRAM MT47H64M8B6-3
One NAND Flash MT29F2G16ABD (not populated by default) or MT29F2G08ABD (single footprint)
The chip select NCS0, NCS1 and CS3 are used for NOR Flash, DDR2-SDRAM and NAND Flash mem-
ories, respectively. Furthermore, a dedicated jumper can disconnect each of these NCS0, NCS1, and
NCS3 signals, making them available for other functions.

4.2.5 Power Supplies
The SAM9G45 Board contains four regulated power supplies:
3.3 VDC Supply
1.8 VDC Supply
1.0 VDC Core Supply
1.0 VDC Core UTMI Supply, PLL
The outputs of these regulated power supplies1are distributed as necessary to each part of the circuit
board.
The 3.3 VDC Supply is generated by an LTC1765-3.3 chip. It accepts VIN 5 VCC power and outputs a
regulated +3.3 V to most other circuits in the SAM9G45-VB.
The 1.8 VDC Supply (VDDIOM0, VDDIOM1) is generated by an LT1765-1.8. It is powered by VIN
5 VCC power and outputs a regulated +1.8V.
The 1.0 VDC Core Supply (VDDCORE) is generated by a TPS60500 IC. It is powered by the VIN
5 VCC power.
The 1.0 VDC Core Supply (VDDUTMIC, VDDPLLUTMI and VDDPLLA) is generated by a CMOS
voltage regulator R1100D series. It is powered by the output of the 3.3 VDC Supply.
Note: 1. Corresponding test points (TP1 to TP4, GND) are used with jumpers (JP1.1 to JP7) to
permit probing of these voltages.

4.2.6.3 User Serial Com Port
The USART1 is used as a user serial com port. This USART1 is buffered with an RS-232 Transceiver
(TXD, RXD and handshake CTS/RTS control) and connected to the DB-9 male socket. Software must
assign the appropriate PIO pins (PB5 = RXD1, PB4 = TXD1, PD16 = RTS1, PD17 = CTS1) to enable the
UART1 function.
Figure 4-8. User Serial Com Port
Refer to the SAM9G45 datasheet for more information about the SAM9G45 USARTs.
4.2.6.4 USB Port
The SAM9G45-EKES features USB communication ports:
Two Host Ports: Full speed OHCI and High speed EHCI
One Device Port: High speed.
USB Host Port0 is directly connected to the first UTMI transceiver. The second Host Port (Port1) is mul-
tiplexed with the USB device High speed and connected to the second UTMI port.
One USB high/full speed type standard A connector
One USB interface Host/Device Micro AB connector
Refer to the SAM9G45 datasheet for detailed programming information.

6481B–ATARM–27-Nov-09
Figure 4-9. USB Port
4.2.6.5 Ethernet 10/100 (EMAC) Port
The port is compatible with IEEE®Standard 802.3.
The SAM9G45-EKES is equipped with a Davicom DM9161AEP 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet Physical
Layer TX/FX Single Chip Transceiver. It contains the entire physical layer functions of 100BASE-TX as
defined by IEEE 802.3u, including the Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS), Physical Medium attachment
(PMA), Twisted Pair Physical Medium Dependent Sublayer (TP-PMD), 10BASE-TX Encoder/Decoder
(ENC/DEC), and Twisted Pair Media Access Unit (TPMAU).
The Ethernet interface integrates an RJ45 connector with an embedded transformer, and three status
LEDs.
The Ethernet interface provides two selectable modes, MII or RMII (Reduced MII), for 100Base-Tx or
10Base-Tx. The MII and RMII interfaces are capable of both 10Mb/s and 100Mb/s data rates as
described in the IEEE 802.3u standard. The signals used by MII and RMII interfaces are described in the
table below.
