reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA508133 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report provides a detailed procedure for interfacing an Atmel SAM7S256 board with a Linux-based PC. The environment and interface are related to a new autopilot project that is designed around the ARM7 architecture used within the U.S. Army Research Laboratorys Vehicle Technology Directorate. An example project is also discussed as a means to see how the environment operates.
