+## Overview {#arduino_due_overview}
+
+The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU.
+It is the first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller.

+## Hardware {#arduino_due_hardware}
+
+### MCU {#atmel_sam3x8e_mcu}
+
+The board features a SAM3X8E MCU (ARM Cortex-M3) running at up to 84MHz.
+It embeds 96 KiB of SRAM and 512 KiB of flash memory.
+The board reference manual is available [here](https://docs.arduino.cc/resources/datasheets/A000062-datasheet.pdf)
+and the MCU datasheet is available [here](https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/Atmel-11057-32-bit-Cortex-M3-Microcontroller-SAM3X-SAM3A_Datasheet.pdf).
+
+### Board configuration {#arduino_due_board_configuration}
+The Arduino Due provides the following features:
+- 54 I/Os (of which 12 PWM outputs)
+- 12 analog inputs
+- 4 UARTs
+- 1 USB OTG
+- 2 DAC outputs
+- 2 TWI
+- 1 power jack
+- 1 SPI header
+- 1 JTAG header
+- 2 CAN Buses
+- A reset button
+- An erase button
+
+### Board pinout {#arduino_due_pinout}
+

+
+The board schematics are available [here](https://docs.arduino.cc/resources/schematics/A000056-schematics.pdf).
+
+## Flashing the device {#arduino_due_flashing}
+Flashing RIOT on the Arduino Due is quite straight forward as it relies on
+the preinstalled arduino bootloader. Connect your board using the programming
+port to your host computer and type:
+
+`make BOARD=arduino-due flash`
