Development kit for 32-bit MCU/DSP packs 3x processing power into every clock cycle
DT Electronics announces the STK1000 development kit for Atmel’s AT32AP700 MCU/DSP chip. The new device, based on the AVR-32 32-bit architecture, is said to execute 3x the processing power per clock cycle of its nearest competitor so that compute intensive algorithms can be executed at lower clock speeds and hence lower power.
ForThe STK1000 provides a complete AT32AP7000 development environment. The kit has two Ethernet ports, a high quality QVGA LCD, a loudspeaker, and connectors for USART, PS/2, VGA, and USB. An expansion header can be used for prototyping.
A pre-installed Linux image on the included 256 MB SD card ensures that the user can boot Linux and start program development directly after power up.
The STK1000 is also supported by AVR JTAGICE Mark II. With either GNU GCC or the IAR compiler, the JTAGICE Mark II supports basic runtime control and a limited trace.
