Win a Microchip SAM L11 Xplained Pro evaluation kit
10 October 2018
News
The Microchip SAM L11 Xplained Pro evaluation kit is ideal for evaluating and prototyping with Microchip Technology’s ultra-low power SAM L11 ARM Cortex-M23 based microcontrollers. Readers of Dataweek are being offered an exclusive chance to win one of these kits.
The new SAM L11 MCU features Arm TrustZone for Armv8-M, a programmable environment that provides hardware isolation between certified libraries, IP and application code. Microchip enables robust security by including chip-level tamper resistance, secure boot and secure key storage which, when combined with TrustZone technology, protects customer applications from both remote and physical attacks.
The evaluation kit features a microBUS socket and Xplained Pro extension headers to expand the development with Mikroelektronika click boards and Xplained Pro extension kits. The kit also includes an on-board embedded debugger and an Xplained Pro Analog Module (XAM) that can be used with the data visualiser tool to monitor and analyse power consumption in real time.
The Pro evaluation kit supports all SAM L10/11 MCUs by the Atmel Studio 7 integrated development environment (IDE), IAR Embedded Workbench, Arm Keil MDK as well as the Atmel START online tool for intuitive, graphical configuration of embedded software projects. Microchip’s QTouch modular library, 2D touch surface library and QTouch configurator are also available to simplify touch development.
