When can we expect the release of the AT91SAM7Ñ256 ethernet board. I’m waiting patiencly for the new release of the arm7 with build in ethernet and USB.
Hi,
SAM7-E256 will have ENC28J60 Ethernet chip from Microchip as it takes only 2 ports to make the Ethernet interface. CS8900A now takes 11 ports which is quite ports waste.
Microchiop will release SNC28J60 around February 2006 and then we’ll have these boards

What about just having a SAM7-P256 which is the same board as the SAM7-P64, but with the 256 part on it. They are pin compatible. The MCU costs $5 more in qty 1.
Whether a SAM7-E64 would be useful, I do not know. Memory would be quite constrained.
