Hi

First start by going to the Atmel web site and have a look at the documents.

Depending on what you need you can look at the AP7000 devices.
full blown with MMU and support for linux image etc. but no on board flash
on board graphic controller etc . Good for doing PDA like apps.

The new UC3 devices is better suited for native programming
the devices have 128 to 512k of on board flash and n nice spread of interfaces.

The Avr32 studio tools can be downloads from the Atmel web site ( Around 200Mbt)
if you need the linux BSP you need to download the BSP as well ( around 500Mbt)

Alltogether very nice devices.

You dont need to buy the STK1000 to get going the smaller dev kits have enough to get going

hi

another question concerning STK1000. when I buy the 534$ kit. does the price include the two boards (the mother board and the daughter board) or it is just for the mother board.

Hi

Inclues the lot :

STK1000 provides a complete AT32AP7000 development environment. The kit has two ethernet ports, a high quality QVGA LCD, a loudspeaker, and connectors for USART, PS/2, VGA, and USB. A expansion header can be used for prototyping.

A pre-installed Linux image on the enclosed 256 MB SD card ensures that the user can boot Linux and start program development directly after power up.

STK1000 is also supported by AVR JTAGICE mkII. With either GNU GCC or the IAR compiler, the JTAGICE mkII supports basic runtime control and a limited trace.

The Vitra and the Opella products from Ashling supports provide high-end debugging capabilities as e.g. sustained trace and SQA (software quality assurance). An extensive white paper is available at www.ashling.com (PDF).
Ordering Code: ATSTK1000
