AT91SAM9M10 Special Page

Introduction

Hi! Welcome to the Linux4SAM page dedicated to the newly introduced AT91SAM9M10 SOC. This page provides the latest information on this MPU in the same way as elsewhere on the site Linux4SAM. Each component is detailed in its own section just below. As is always done for the material we publish on Linux4SAM, These special releases will be integrated in each component release cycle and the associated Open Source upstream project. The embedded video decoder can be used with GStreamer components provided: Check the video decoder solution section for get it started.
