    Hi Norman,

    If you are switching to Cortex-M4/M7 from Atmel, the processor architecture would be the same.

    So the concepts of the following areas will be the same:

    -          Interrupt handling mechanism, priority level

    -          CMSIS

    -          Debug architecture

    You might also be able to use the same development tools.

    The peripherals and memory map will be different. So the device driver code need to be changed. You should study the application notes and example projects from the development tools or evaluation kits to learn how to use the peripherals.

    Obviously there are plenty of materials on Atmel website for you to look.

    There are also plenty of Youtube videos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m59YtdAet2A) showing Atmel development kits.

    Atmel also have their own forum : http://community.atmel.com/atmel-smart-arm-based-mcus

    Regards,

    JOseph
