Board Overview
This section introduces the Atmel SAM3U Evaluation Kit design. It introduces system-level concepts, 
such as power distribution, memory, and interface assignments.
The SAM3U-EK board is based on the integration of an ARM
®
 Cortex
®
-M3 processor with on-board fast 
PSRAM (pseudo-static RAM), NAND Flash and a set of popular peripherals. It is designed to provide a 
high performance processor evaluation solution with high flexibility for various kinds of applications.
