Function Blocks
4.2.3.1
Processor
The CM Board is equipped with an Atmel ARM-based embedded MPU, as listed below, in a 217-ball 
BGA package. The five devices share an identical footprint. All five share the same CM Board PCB with 
minor configuration differences. 
The five devices are:
„
SAM9G15
„
SAM9G25
„
SAM9G35
„
SAM9X25
„
SAM9X35
As different interfaces can be defined using the same pins, it depends on the actual configuration of the 
CPU as to which functions are in fact available to the EK board.
 for details. The processor runs at a nominal frequency of 
400 MHz for the core and 133 MHz for the system bus.
The peripheral configuration possibilities and implementation requirements of the CM are dependent on 
the module's chipset. Two configuration resistors are implemented on board in order to select the mode 
of configuration.
4.2.3.2
Clock Circuitry
The CM includes 3 clock sources:
„
Two are alternatives for the processor main clock
„
One crystal and one crystal oscillator are used for the Ethernet MII/RMII chip
 
4.2.3.3
Reset Circuitry
The reset sources for the CM board are:
„
Power on reset
„
Push button reset (Push button is equipped on EK board)
„
JTAG reset from an in-circuit emulator (JTAG interface is equipped on EK board)
