/** @defgroup boards_samd21-xpro Atmel SAM D21 Xplained Pro @ingroup boards @brief Support for the Atmel SAM D21 Xplained Pro board. ## Overview The `SAMD21 Xplained Pro` is an ultra-low power evaluation board by Atmel featuring an ATSAMD21J18A SoC. The SoC includes a SAMD21 ARM Cortex-M0+ micro- controller. For programming the MCU comes with 32Kb of RAM and 256Kb of flash memory. The samd21-xpro is available from various hardware vendors for ~30USD (as of 2017May). ## Hardware ![samd21-xpro image](http://www.microchip.com/_ImagedCopy/ATSAMD21-XPRO_angle.jpg) ### MCU | MCU | ATSAMD21J18A | |:------------- |:--------------------- | | Family | ARM Cortex-M0+ | | Vendor | Atmel | | RAM | 32Kb | | Flash | 256Kb | | Frequency | up to 48MHz | | FPU | no | | Timers | 5 (16-bit) | | ADCs | 1x 12-bit (20 channels) | | UARTs | max 6 (shared with SPI and I2C) | | SPIs | max 6 (see UART) | | I2Cs | max 6 (see UART) | | Vcc | 1.62V - 3.63V | | Datasheet | [Datasheet](http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/SAM_D21_DA1_Family_Data%20Sheet_DS40001882E.pdf) | | Board Manual | [Board Manual](http://www.atmel.com/Images/Atmel-42220-SAMD21-Xplained-Pro_User-Guide.pdf)| ### User Interface 1 User button and 1 LED: | Device | PIN | |:------ |:--- | | LED0 | PB30 | | SW0 (button) | PA15 | ## Implementation Status | Device | ID | Supported | Comments | |:------------- |:------------- |:------------- |:------------- | | MCU | samd21 | partly | DFLL clock not implemented | | Low-level driver | GPIO | yes | | | | ADC | yes | | | | PWM | yes | | | | UART | yes | | | | I2C | unknown | | | | SPI | yes | | | | USB | no | | | | RTT | yes | | | | RTC | yes | | | | RNG | unknown | | | | Timer | yes | | ## Flashing the device Connect the device to your Micro-USB cable using the port labeled as *DEBUG USB*. The standard method for flashing RIOT to the samd21-xpro is using OpenOCD. Refer to https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/OpenOCD for general instructions on building OpenOCD and make sure "cmsis-dap" and "hidapi-libusb" are enabled. On Linux you will have to add a **udev** rule for hidraw, like ``` bash echo 'KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"' \ | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb.rules sudo service udev restart ``` ### Arch Linux With yaourt: ``` yaourt -S hidapi-git yaourt -S openocd-git # edit PKGBUILD, add "cmsis-dap hidapi-libusb" to "_features" ``` ### Ubuntu Although this refers to setting up the SAMR21, this guide is still very helpful to understanding how to set up a solid RIOT development environment for the SAMD21: http://watr.li/samr21-dev-setup-ubuntu.html ## Supported Toolchains For using the samd21-xpro board we strongly recommend the usage of the [GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded) toolchain. ## Known Issues / Problems */
