The AT91CAP7X-DK development board implements the fixed portion of the AT91CAP7 device as a
microcontroller standard product, tightly coupled to a high-density FPGA that emulates the MP Block.
The boards also include a range of memories and physical interfaces/connectors representing
external system components. This configuration enables parallel hardware/software testing of
the application under development at close to operational speed, with no
penalty for hardware modifications. This enables software development
to proceed in parallel with hardware development, and significantly
reduces the design cycle time, increasing confidence in a right-first-time
system solution.

The AT91CAP7X-DK development board or “kit” is composed of three
associated boards, namely Motherboard, Mezzanine and Memory
Extension to be used jointly in order to develop AT91CAP7 processor
applications.
