The MYD-SAMA5D34 development board contains a CPU module with an Atmel SAMA5D34 ARM Cortex-A5 processor running at 536 MHz. This is a full-function evaluation kit with rich peripheral interfaces and includes Linux 3.6.9 and Android operating systems with source code.

The board features 512MB DDR2 SDRAM, 256MB NandFlash, 4MB DataFlash and 16MB NorFlash memory. The on-board interfaces include HDMI, SD Card, CAN, USB Host/OTG, RS485, Ethernet (SAMA5D34 supports one port), TFT LCD, etc. The MYD-SAMA5D34 board can run Linux and Android, and is delivered with full peripheral driver source code so that you can evaluate the SAMA9D34 processor and quickly develop your own applications.

The MYD-SAMA5D34 development board is provided with detailed schematic documents, datasheet, user manual and fully developed Linux and Android BSP. These allow you to evaluate, customize, and develop hardware and software to cover many fields such as HDMI applications, consumer electronics, video processors, industrial control, display systems, security devices, electric power control systems, PDA devices and web terminals.

Note: By the manufacturer's own admission, Android does not perform very well on this board. Best performance will be achieved under Linux.

The MYC-SAMA5D34 CPU module plugs in via an SODIMM200 connector, and can be replaced by other modules so you can evaluate the different processors in the Atmel SAMA5D3x series. The differences between the five available processors is as follows:

Feature	SAMA5D31	SAMA5D33	SAMA5D34	SAMA5D35	SAMA5D36
LCD/HDMI Controller	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes
Ethernet	10/100	Gigabit	Gigabit	Gigabit	Gigabit
2nd Ethernet	No	No	No	10/100	10/100
CAN Buses	None	None	2	2	2
HSMCI Buses	3	2	3	3	3
Extra UARTs*	2	None	None	2	2
Timer/Counters	1	1	1	2	2

* All five CPUs have three 5-line USARTs and a 3-line DBGU (Debug UART). The SAMA5D31, SAMA5D35 and SAMA5D36 add two 3-line UARTs (i.e. asynchronous only).

See Atmel's SAMA5D34 Page for the datasheet and other documentation.
