SAM9X75 Curiosity LAN Kit

Overview

The SAM9X75 Curiosity Development Board features a SAM9X75D2G MPU and is the evaluation platform for the SAM9X7 Series MPU devices. The SAM9X75D2G is a high-performance, ultra-low power ARM926EJ-S CPU-based embedded microprocessor (MPU) running up to 800 MHz, with an integrated 2 Gbit DDR3L memory. The device integrates powerful peripherals for connectivity and user interface applications, including MIPI DSI®, LVDS, RGB and 2D graphics, MIPI-CSI-2, Gigabit Ethernet with TSN, USB and CAN-FD. Advanced security functions are offered, such as tamper detection, secure boot, secure key storage, TRNG, PUF as well as high-performance crypto accelerators for AES and SHA.

The SAM9X75 Curiosity Development Board includes 4Gbit SLC NAND Flash, a 64Mb QSPI Nor Flash, a Gigabit Ethernet interface through SODIMM 260-pin connector, a LAN8840 EDS2 Daughter Card to evaluate Microchip LAN8840 Gigabit Ethernet RGMII Ethernet PHY, MCP16502 Power Management IC optimized for the module and one extra DC/DC converter to supply interfaces such as the Gigabit Ethernet interface and the Wireless M.2 interface.
