SAMA7D6 Series Microprocessor Collaterals and Solutions
Last modified by Microchip on 2025/08/14 13:43
SAMA7D6 series microprocessors (MPUs) offer a rich and balanced set of peripherals and user interfaces that deliver high performance, market-leading low power and advanced security for cost-sensitive industrial and consumer applications. Microchip MPUs are supported by a wide range of software and development tools including Linux®, bare metal, MPLAB® Harmony, third-party tools, and software.
To reduce the learning curve and help in developing applications on SAMA7D6 series MPUs, a wide range of supporting collateral is available, including training modules, application notes, technical briefs, demos, reference guides, and videos. This document provides references to such technical material.
