Unfortunately it doesn't seem to bring out enough I\O pins ( I need at least 20, 2 of which ADC) otherwise I would have been in.  |

| I'll give it a go, as well. I've never used an Xmega, although I have a couple of chips somewhere. |

The idea was to be a board for students and software guys, so in order to work with it you no need anything, not even an USB cable. And then you can work at school and continue home where maybe you share a room with someone and do not want to mess with wires, DMM, power supply. Peripherals connected through UART, I2C and SPI are already there.
But you still have access to PortC and other few lines through the connector.

I am thinking at 34USD.
2mm pitch sounds a little strange, but I wanted to expose as many pins as possible. PC6 and PC7 are reversed in order to be able to directly connect a Maxstream radio module, only one row, not very professional, but you still can.
For the LCD driver, I found a PIC to be the best option.
And finally, I was looking for other micros, at Microchip for example to have a board based on a PIC (8 bit) also, but there is no such micro to compare with Xmega. Bravo Atmel!

Thanks for the generous offer! |

My board just arrived - very neat!
I need some docs, though. |

Thanks. I was looking for it on the home page and Projects.
I can't get the boot loader to work. I tried EasyBootXAVR 1.4WIN (124.zip) and it tries to communicate on COM2. The Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge is on COM38 on my system. I think that the supplied file, EasyBootAVR_1_4.exe, is the wrong one.
The software source code should be supplied. |

There is an .INI file on the same directory. Open it and change the com port from COM2 to COM38 or whatever port is assigned. Then try again.
I know there is an API function that could give me the available ports but I do not know which one is. If somebody could tell me about, I could put a drop down list to choose from.
I am cleaning up the project for the demo firmware on AS4 and I will post it.
George. |

Thanks, George.
Editing the .INI file fixed the problem. |

I wish someone would make a board similar to the raspberry pi or beagleboard, except using the AVR32 AP7000 as the CPU. I would buy one of those for sure.
I would, but I'm too lazy. |

Atmel stopped production of AP7000 ages ago and they are now "not recommended for new design". It was their attempt at a mobile phone CPU that failed (I guess a large customer pulled out or something) so in AV32 all that's left are UC3's which are souped up microcontrollers rather than SoCs |
