The Controller Board is built around the Atmel AT91SAM7X256, and adds the essential components (like the crystal, voltage regulator, filter capacitors, etc.) required to run it, while bringing most of the signals of the processor out to standard 0.1" spaced sockets.
The idea behind this design was to provide a board that takes care of the most difficult issues of surface mount assembly of a 100 pin package, and presents the powerful features of the SAM7X in an accessible and uniform way, such that it could be used with a variety of interface boards.
