CLOSED! Thank you to all who entered. One for both Design Engineers and hobbyists. Here is a chance to win a development system that can radically simplify your next Embedded Linux design. It’s suitable for any application that requires Linux, high performance graphics, connectivity and large memory. Microchip has done all the complex design work leaving users to simply place the Cortex A5 MPU-based module onto their application board.



Courtesy of Farnell element14, an authorised distributor of Microchip, we have three ATSAMA5D27-SOM1-EK1 development boards to offer as prizes, worth £176 each. Deadline: 30 June 2018.

The module is 38mm x 40mm, industrial temperature grade (-40/+85C) and requires a single 3.3V power supply for operation. Designers can consider the SoM to be just one of the components they require to build their product, longevity of supply is assured via Microchip’s policy on End of Life.

An ATSAMA5D27C-D1G-CU SIP embedding a 1-Gbit (128 MB) DDR2 DRAM. The SOM integrates a Power Management IC, a QSPI memory, a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet PHY and a serial EEPROM with a MAC address. Also, 128 GPIO pins are provided by the SOM for general use in the system, and the board supports a wide range of peripherals.

CLOSED! Thank you to all who entered.
