    You get what you pay for. A board with a SAM7-chip that is. You've got the schematic, from my experience it is all correct, what more documentation do you need?

    Buyer Beware!!
    The peeps @olimex are flat unresponsive. I wouldn't recommend their stuff at all. Documentation is poor at best. And yes I have sent several emails from private IP addresses to clear their SPAM filter. Ha!
    Sorry for the rant but customer $ must = customer support in this industry.

    All SAM7 (and almost every ARM) contain PLL's and can do extensive clock multiplying. 18.432 MHz was choosen by the designers to be able to generate proper frequency for the USB.

    When will this be back in stock?
    I hope to use this as a replacement for the AT91SAM7S-EK devboard from Atmel, which is $100.
    The only additions I can see for my $50 are a pair of RS-232 chips and associated connectors, 4 LEDs on I/O ports, a small prototyping area, and a big "ATMEL" logo. What a deal!
    Anyone have a thought on replacing the 18.432 MHz crystal with something a little faster? The ARM is good up to 60 MHz...why was this slower crystal chosen?
