The SAM4L-EK is the recommended evaluation kit for all SAM4L devices. It comes with a 256 k SAM4L device. The device features both segment LCD controller and USB host and allows the designer to evaluate all the features of the SAM4L series of devices with a single kit. Code can easily be moved from the SAM4L-EK to the target device as the SAM4L devices are binary compatible. The board not only demonstrates the main features of the SAM4L, but also offers expansion possibilities with extension boards. The kit has an embedded debugger and programmer that works directly with the development tools, so no 3rd party debugger or programmer is needed. Just plug in the board and it is ready to go. In addition there is dedicated circuitry that measures the power consumption of the SAM4L at all times. This is displayed in real-time on the OLED display on the upper part of the board. This allows the designer to see the power consumption of the application and to confirm the power optimization for your application. There is a Segment LCD onboard, that is driven directly from the SAM4L in addition to the USB connector on the topside as well as a capacitive touch button and a slider on the right hand side. In addition, just above the segment LCD, there are expansion headers where the sensor Xplain boards and wireless extension boards can be plugged in. The user can easily add gyros, accelorometers, Wi-Fi and/or Zigbee to the SAM4L-EK. Take a look at atmel.com/SAM4L for more details.
