The ATSAM3U ARM-CM3 Board is an ARM embedded evaluation board produced by Embest, integrate the ATMEL Cortex-M3 core-based processor ATSAM3U4E, operating at 96 MHz frequency. The board features USB, I2C, MCI interface, TFT-LCD, USART interface, 96 I/O port, EBI support SRAM/NOR/NAND memory, etc. Plenty of software examples, which can be used in Keil MDK environment, are accompanied in CDROM.
You can use the Cortex-M3 based ATSAM3U Evaluation Board to generate and test application programs for the ATMEL SAM3U Series microcontroller family. With this hands-on process, you can determine the hardware and software requirements for current and future product development. The ATSAM3U Evaluation Board ships with the ATSAM3U device that is a superset of several other device variants of the ATMEL SAM3U microcontroller series. The ATSAM3U Board contains all the hardware components required in a single-chip ATSAM3U4E system.

Development Environment
To compile, link and run applications on the ATSAM3U Evaluation Board, you must install these products:
The RealView MDK-ARM which includes the μVision Debugger and provides several example programs for the ATSAM3U Board.
The ATMEL SAM3U Series Software Library which provides a software foundation for the ATMEL SAM3U Series peripherals, it can be copied from CDROM we have tested.
The example programs and project files for the board are accompanied with CDROM, developed by Embest.
Software and Examples
Embest Provides plenty of software examples for this evaluation board, all in source code. These software examples can be debugged under the popular Keil MDK (Microcontroller Development Kit) environments, making practical use of the board's peripherals.
The CDROM includes several example programs that are configured for the Embest ATSAM3U Board.
All examples are configured for two μVision targets at least:
Simulator - where the program runs in the software simulator.
FLASH - where the program runs from internal Flash located on the microcontroller.
All examples use the same file attribution and/or structure:
Text file (.txt) contains a short description of the example.
Assemble Code (.s) contains the startup code and the initialization of the microcontroller's peripherals.
Example dependent source code and Keil uVision project file.
Each example program is stored in a separate folder and can be copied to use under \Keil\ARM\BOARDS\Embest\ATSAM3U\ along with project files that help you quickly build the project and run the program.
All example projects and programs are available in accompanied CDROM.
