The MYD-SAMA5D36-C development board contains a CPU module with an Atmel SAMA5D36 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 CPU module board features 256MB DDR2 SDRAM, 256MB NandFlash, 4MB DataFlash and 64KB EEPROM, as well as Gigabit Ethernet PHY. It connects to the main board via two sets of 2×40-pin 2mm-pitch male headers. The main board interfaces include six serial ports, one 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet port, two CAN, two USB Hosts, one USB OTG, microSD slot, JTAG port, LCD interface, and more. The MYD-SAMA5D36-C development board is provided with detailed schematic documents, datasheet, user manual and fully developed Linux and Android BSP including full peripheral driver source code so that you can evaluate the SAMA9D36 processor and quickly develop your own applications.

Note: Best performance will be achieved under Linux.

The MCC-SAMA5D36-C CPU module 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 SAMA5D36 Page for the datasheet and other documentation.
