SAMA7D65 Curiosity Kit
Overview
The EV63J76A (SAMA7D65 Curiosity Kit) is a development kit for evaluating and prototyping with Microchip 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 Microchip Graphic Suite (MGS) for Linux. The SAMA7D65 is well-suited for industrial and automotive applications with graphical displays support up to WXGA/720p.
