Overview
EV63J76A, SAMA7D65 Curiosity Kit is currently available for purchase.
The EA89C15A is an Early Access development kit intended to provide early access for evaluation and prototyping with Microchip's upcoming SAMA7D65 microprocessor (MPU). The SAMA7D65 MPU is a high-performance ARM Cortex-A7 CPU-based embedded MPU running up to 1GHz. The board allows evaluation of powerful peripherals for connectivity, audio and user interface applications, including MIPI-DSI and LVDS w/ 2D graphics, dual Gigabit Ethernet w/ TSN and CAN-FD. The MPUs offer advanced security functions, like tamper detection, secure boot, secure key stoarge, TRNG, PUF as well as higher-performance crypto accelerators for AES and SHA. The SAMA7D65 series is supported by Microchip MPLAB-X development tools, Harmony V3, Linux distributions and the Ensemble Graphics Toolkit (EGT).
The SAMA7D65 is well-suited for industrial and automotive applications with graphical displays support up to WXGA/720p.
