Personally I avoid the Atmel ARM parts.  When they first came out with
USB parts I ran them through many Due Diligence tests.
I found that the USB part worked just fine if your PC had an Intel
host controller, but they didn't work if you had an NEC host
controller.

When I reported that back to Atmel, the answer came back from Atmel
France (now closed) the originator of the Atmel ARM, as "You are to
stupid to use our part".
Maybe I'm not the smartest person in the world, but how much brain
power does it take to move the USB cable between two ports on the same
PC?

With support like that do you really want to design them into a product?
