Re: Who is working with the SAM9263?

I also noticed that the eval boards for the SAM9 devices are around
$1,000 US. I think the only one significantly less is for the SAM9260
which is about $600. Why are they so expensive?



Because someone wanted cheaper development boards
than those for the AT91RM9200 which started off at $5000
and went down eventually to $1250.

Someone told me some years ago that the AT91RM9200EK PCB
in Atmel volumes is about $100.

I am lobbying for a new way of building development tools
which should allow Atmel to bring down its cost structure.

I did see a 32Bit/Linux EvalPCB, for just $69, recently on Atmel's web site :

http://www.atmel.com/dyn/corporate/view_detail.asp?ref=&FileName=AVR32NGKit_3_26.html&SEC_NAME=Product

shows what can be done for well under $100 [Needs JTAG cable too]
