Warning
2.2RequirementsIn order to set up the AT91SAM9260-EK evaluation board, the following items are
The AT91SAM9260-EK evaluation board is shipped in protective anti-static packaging.
The board must not be subjected to high electrostatic potentials. A grounding strap or
similar protective device should be worn when handling the board. Avoid touching the
component pins or any other metallic element.

2.4Powering Up the
Board
2.5Backup Power
Supply
The AT91SAM9260-EK requires 5V DC (±5%). DC power is supplied to the board via
the 2.1 mm by 5.5 mm socket J1. Coaxial plug center positive standard.
The user has the possibility to plug a battery (3V Lithium Battery CR1225 or equivalent)
in order to permanently power the backup part of the device. In this case, J10 configuration must be set in position 1, 2.
Refer to Section 4.1.
2.6Getting StartedThe AT91SAM9260-EK evaluation board is delivered with a CD-ROM containing all nec-
essary information and step-by-step procedures for working with the most common
development toolchains. Please refer to this CD-ROM, or to the AT91 web site,
http://www.atmel.com/products/AT91/, for the most up-to-date information on getting
started with the AT91SAM9260-EK.

clocking
The silkscreen is wrong. The markings for BB and 1V8 are inverted.
The marking should be:
! On J10 pin 1 (square pin): BB.
! On J10 pin 3: 1V8.
The S2 footprint must never be shorted to select a JTAG mode, otherwise the chip can
be damaged.
By default, the JTAGSEL input pin integrates a pull-down resistor (ICE mode). To select
the JTAG mode, connect the JTAGSEL input pin at VDDBU power.
In order to use the TWI in Fast Mode (up to 400 Kbits/s), the default 10 KΩ resistors R44
and R45 should be replaced by smaller values (e.g., 2.2 KΩ).
Note that there is no need to change the pull-up resistors if the TWI is used in Standard
Mode (up to 100 Kbits/s).
In the present schematics (block diagram p.10 and sheet 1/8, p.26), the MCLK and
BCLK sources implementation does not guarantee a correct phase relation as specified
in the AT73C213 datasheet.
Problem Fix/Workaround:
In his own design, the user must make sure the BCLK and MCLK clocks generation
implements the timing specified in the AT73C213 datasheet.
