ARM9-based MCU supports real time “smart” control panels
( 01 May 2008 )
Atmel has launched its AT91SAM9RL64 ARM9-based interactive GUI microcontroller with high throughput, ideal peripherals and OS support to implement “smart” control panel applications that can provide access to content including user manuals, video clips and audio, as well as offering a robust interface to system control functions. The device can be used as the main processor in a system or as the co-processor dedicated to the user interface. A USB High Speed link provides the bandwidth to transfer streaming video between the host- and the AT91SAM9RL64 co-processor.
