Overview
The SAM9X60 Curiosity Development Board is based on the SAM9X60D1G SiP high-performance, low-power ARM926EJ-S CPU-based embedded microprocessor (MPU) running at 600MHz. The SAM9X60D1G Curiosity Development Board small form factor PCB including the SAM9X60D1G (SAM9X60 MPU plus 1Gb integrated DDR2), 4Gbit SLC NAND Flash, a KSZ8081 10/100 Ethernet PHY, and MCP16501 Power Management IC optimized for the module. It is intended for evaluation of all variants of the SAM9X60 MPU, including the System in Package (SIP) variants and the System on Module (SOM). This board includes MIKROE's mikroBUS™ socket, enabling the use of over 1700 application-specific Click boards™.
The SAM9X60 Curiosity Development Board is built on a common set of proven Microchip components to reduce time to market by simplifying hardware design and software development. It also simplifies design rules of the main application board, reducing overall PCB complexity and cost. The SAM9X60 Curiosity Development Board is delivered with a free Linux distribution and bare metal C code examples.
