ATSAMA5D36-EK 概要
An evaluation board, in the broader sense, is a populated PCB that exposes every functional block of an MPU or microcontroller so firmware, drivers, and applications can be validated before a custom carrier board is designed. The ATSAMA5D36-EK belongs to the Atmel SMART ARM-based MPU evaluation family and serves as the reference design for the SAMA5D3 series (SAMA5D31, SAMA5D33, SAMA5D34, SAMA5D36), which targets industrial HMI, smart energy, and connected consumer devices. The platform also bundles the SAMA5D3 Softpack - a free collection of bare-metal C examples - together with Linux and Qt-based graphical demos that exercise the on-board peripherals.
Key features of the kit include a high-bandwidth system bus architecture, a hardware floating-point unit for accelerated numeric workloads, and dual Ethernet support. The board integrates a TFT LCD connector, a CMOS camera interface, audio codec path, and multiple serial interfaces (UART, SPI, I2C, TWI, CAN), making it suitable for full system prototyping. Microchip recommends Atmel Studio and the SAMA5D3 Linux distribution for application development, with SAM-BA providing non-volatile memory programming.
Typical applications include industrial human-machine interface (HMI) panels, smart grid and energy metering terminals, point-of-sale and kiosk controllers, and Linux-based connected appliances that need low standby power under 150 mW combined with full Cortex-A5 performance. The on-board peripherals cover the reference design for nearly every block in those systems, so engineers rarely need extra mezzanine cards for first-pass bring-up.
When designing with this kit, plan a stable 5 V input to the on-board regulator chain because voltage rail quality affects the DDR2 timing margins. Engineers targeting production should treat the EK as a reference only - it has been superseded by the ATSAMA5D3-XPLD. For current designs consider the SAMA5D2-series XULT kits as the active replacement.

主な用途
ATSAMA5D36-EK の用途: 6 件s: Industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI), Smart Energy and Metering Terminals, Connected Consumer Appliances, Point-of-Sale and Kiosk Controllers, Linux-Based Industrial Gateways, Educational and Reference Designs.
Industrial Human-Machine Interface (HMI)
The ATSAMA5D36-EK suits industrial HMI prototyping because its on-board TFT LCD connector, 536 MHz Cortex-A5 core with FPU, and 512 MB of DDR2 let engineers run full Qt-based graphical stacks at production-like frame rates. According to the SAMA5D3 datasheet, the MPU delivers 850 DMIPS under 150 mW, which is enough headroom for smooth UI rendering plus back-end control logic on the same board. The kit exposes the touch controller and GPIO that map directly to a real HMI front panel, so a reference Linux image can be flashed, calibrated, and demoed within a single working day.
おすすめ
Smart Energy and Metering Terminals
Smart meter and grid-monitoring designs benefit from the ATSAMA5D36-EK's MII/RMII Ethernet, CAN interface, and 256 MB of SPI DataFlash for non-volatile log retention. The SAMA5D3 architecture supports secure boot and tamper detection blocks, and the kit's SAM-BA loader lets developers stage firmware updates over Ethernet. Running the SAMA5D3 Linux distribution on this kit, an engineer can prototype a connected metering gateway with on-board display output and persistent storage before committing to a custom carrier PCB.
おすすめ
Connected Consumer Appliances
For connected appliances like smart appliances and home gateways, the ATSAMA5D36-EK provides a Cortex-A5 application processor with hardware FPU, multiple USB host ports for Wi-Fi/BT dongles, LCD output, and audio codec support on a single board. The SAMA5D3 silicon's sub-mW low-power modes (referenced in the SAMA5D3 flyer Atmel-11224) keep standby consumption low while the Ethernet and USB peripherals stay ready for wake-on-LAN. Developers can validate the full UI, networking, and audio path before laying out a production board.
おすすめ
Point-of-Sale and Kiosk Controllers
POS and kiosk prototypes need reliable display output, network connectivity, and enough processing headroom for payment stacks. The ATSAMA5D36-EK combines a 536 MHz Cortex-A5 core, TFT LCD, Ethernet, USB host/device, and audio on one board, which lets Linux-based POS software run with realistic peripheral timing. Engineers use the kit's JTAG and SAM-BA paths to harden boot loaders, test secure key storage flows, and benchmark touch responsiveness before final hardware spin.
おすすめ
Linux-Based Industrial Gateways
Industrial protocol gateways (Modbus, CAN, Ethernet/IP) need a deterministic application processor with rich connectivity, which the ATSAMA5D36-EK delivers via dual Ethernet capability, CAN bus access, multiple UARTs, and Linux support. The SAMA5D3 platform's 128 KB on-chip SRAM plus external DDR2 lets developers run a full TCP/IP stack alongside protocol translation tasks. On the kit, a gateway reference design can be exercised against real fieldbus traffic while the on-board JTAG captures timing traces for tuning.
おすすめ
Educational and Reference Designs
Universities and training labs use the ATSAMA5D36-EK as a teaching platform for embedded Linux, driver development, and Qt GUI programming. The kit bundles the SAMA5D3 Softpack - free bare-metal C examples - plus Linux and Qt demo images that map cleanly onto lectures on MMU-enabled CPUs, DMA, and interrupt design. The exposed JTAG and serial console also make it a strong lab tool for teaching low-level debug flows without needing extra equipment beyond a basic ARM debugger.

設計ノート
The ATSAMA5D36-EK expects a regulated 5 V DC input at the on-board barrel jack; the carrier then derives 3.3 V, 1.8 V, and 1.2 V rails used by the SAMA5D36, DDR2, and on-board peripherals. Use a low-noise 5 V supply because the DDR2 reference voltage and PLL VDD are sensitive to ripple. Estimated: at 536 MHz core plus 512 MB DDR2 active, total board draw is roughly 0.8-1.2 W, so size the 5 V source for at least 1.5 W of headroom.
Treat the EK as a reference layout only. Match the SAMA5D36 ball-out, DDR2 fly-by routing, and decoupling density shown in the kit schematic when designing the production board. Estimated: 0402 100 nF decoupling per power pin plus a few bulk 4.7 uF ceramics near each rail is the minimum needed to stay within the SAMA5D3 PDN target impedance.
Do not migrate from the ATSAMA5D36-EK to a custom board without re-checking the boot mode straps: the SAMA5D3 family uses BMS (boot mode select) and JTAG pins that are easy to mis-wire. Also note that the EK is in last-time-buy status and has been replaced by the ATSAMA5D3-XPLD, so new designs should plan component sourcing around the successor rather than this kit.
Keep the DDR2 traces short, matched within the SAMA5D3 timing budget, and isolated from the LCD and Ethernet differential pairs. On the EK the Ethernet magnetics sit on the same board edge as the LCD connector, so route high-speed signals away from any switching power stage on your custom carrier. Estimated: aim for 50 ohm single-ended and 100 ohm differential impedance on the MII/RMII lines to keep EMI in check.
