Anyone know of anywhere that sells an XMega32D4 breakout PCB for prototyping?
I guess a 64 or 128 would do.

Atmel XPLORE? The documents imply that you can use an A4 or D4.

Quote:
7. Hardware setup
The XPLORE evaluation kit board is designed to support the Atmel AVR ATxmega32A4U, ATxmega32A4, or ATxmega32D4 microcontrollers in 44-pin VQFP package and also comes with the footprint of the 44-pin TQFP package which allows easy modification to support another package type. An Txmega32A4U is currently assembled on the XPLORE evaluation kit board as the default device.

It appears to be vapour? :(

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it is still a pig.

I've never met a pig I didn't like, as long as you have some salt and pepper.

Gabotronics has Xprotolab and Xminilab with A4. Perhaps get the kit and adapt to your needs?

Good news and bad news: It appears that Boston Android EVAL-04-* is exactly what you want. The bad news is they are no longer in that business. :(

Perhaps you can find one?

On eBay, Oregon USA vendor "denebx" has a selection of breakout boards for you. :)

Well, Spark Fun has an Xmega128A1 breakout, Here .

Note that, IIRC, this is a Version 1 Xmega, (without the internal USB module, and with the numerous ADC issues).

If you contacted them they might sell you the unpopulated PCB.

Should be able to get a SCHMART board to suit a 44 pin TQFN. http://www.schmartboard.com/inde...

I can find a couple of items on eBay, but shipped from the USA, which is slow and expensive.
Then I found our very own "batsocks", a sometime user of these forums.
Awaiting email response.

By the way, I don't really want an unpopulated PCB, I am too old and unsteady to relish soldering 44 pin TQFPs unless absolutely necessary.

Many thanks for all the replies,

John
