Overview
1.1
Scope
The AT91SAM7X-EK and the AT91SAM7XC-EK evaluation kits enable evaluation capa-
bilities and code development of applications running on the AT91SAM7X or the
AT91SAM7XC microcontroller. 
This guide focuses on the AT91SAM7X-EK board as a common evaluation platform for
the AT91SAM7X and AT91SAM7XC devices in a 100-lead LQFP package.
1.2
Deliverables 
The package contains the following items:
!
a board marked AT91SAM7X-EK
!
one A/B-type USB cable
!
one crossed serial RS232 cable
!
one RJ45 crossed Ethernet cable
!
universal input AC/DC power supply with US and EU plug adapter
!
one DVD-ROM containing summary and full datasheets, datasheets with electrical 
and mechanical characteristics, application notes and getting started documents for 
all development boards and AT91 microcontrollers. An AT91 software package with C 
and assembly listings is also provided. This allows the user to begin evaluating the 
AT91 ARM
