Atmel AT91CAP7A-STK manual

The CAP™ Starter Kit is the ideal vehicle for low-cost, no-risk evaluation of the customization capabilities

of Atmel’s CAP microcontroller. It is intended to familiarize the user with the CAP concept and architecture,

and is an ideal vehicle for students of electronic engineering to consolidate their knowledge of system-

on-chip design, both hardware and software.

CAP comprises a microcontroller-based system-on-chip with ARM® processor, memories, peripherals and

standard interfaces, together with a Metal Programmable (MP) Block for application-specific functions.

The CAP Starter Kit facilitates the mapping of application-specific IP blocks into its FPGA that

emulates the functionality of the CAP MP Block, while at the same time providing

a development platform for software for the ARM processor. This enables the

hardware and software of simple applications, or modules of more complex

applications, to be tested at close to operational speed.

The AT91CAP7A-STK Starter Kit is built on a single PCB, including:
