Developing for the AT91SAM7 microcontroller

I once purchased a SAM7 P256 board from Sparkfun for $72. This post is a bunch of pointers to the resources I’ll need to develop for it. The same code will work on the H64 header board (only $35), which can be used in future USB projects. UPDATE: Sparkfun no longer sells the H64 header board, but they have a H256 board for $45.

This post assumes an Ubuntu Linux environment.
Set up the development environment.
Use Sam_I_Am to access the SAM-BA bootloader.
Some easily available demos and example programs
