@brief Support for the Acmesystems YARM board.
## Overview
Yarm is a smart and cost effective solution for system integrators to build
their own RF applications at 868 MHz avoiding all the hardware design costs
requested to start a new custom RF project.
Yarm integrates:
- a Microchip SAML21 low power MCU
- a Microchip ATA8510 radio module
See Acmesystems [product page](https://www.acmesystems.it/yarm) for more
information.
In the provided configuration, stdio is available via USB. The board could be
configured to provide it on the exposed UART instead, by defining
```
USEMODULE=stdio_uart
```
Depending on the connection to your PC, you will probably also need to set
PORT_LINUX to a different value (default is /dev/ttyACM0), for instance
```
PORT_LINUX=/dev/ttyUSB0
```

*NOTE:* not all MCU interfaces are available on YARM; see the
[pinout](https://www.acmesystems.it/pinout_yarm-dev) to know more.
## Implementation Status
| Device | ID | Supported | Comments |
|:---------------- |:----------|:--------- |:------------- |
| MCU | saml21 | partly | PLL clock not implemented |
| Low-level driver | GPIO | yes | |
| | PWM | yes | |
| | UART | yes | |
| | I2C | yes | |
| | SPI | yes | |
| | USB | yes | |
| | RTT | yes | |
| | RTC | yes | |
| | RNG | yes | |
| | Timer | yes | |
| | ADC | yes | |
## Flashing the device
Both the MCU and the radio module are flashed using
[Atmel ICE](https://www.microchip.com/DevelopmentTools/ProductDetails/atatmel-ice),
with the help of a small adapter. The software used is edbg, bundled with RIOT.
[wiring](https://www.acmesystems.it/asquini/yarm_avr_programming/ice-wiring.jpg)
On Linux you might have to add a **udev** rule for Atmel ICE, like
```
bash
(
cat <<END
# Atmel-ICE JTAG/SWD in-circuit debugger
ATTRS{idVendor}=="03eb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2141", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
END
) | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-atmel-ice.rules
sudo service udev restart
```
## Supported Toolchains
Recommended toolchain for SAML21 is [GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded).
On Debian Buster, the default [gcc-arm-none-eabi](https://packages.debian.org/buster/gcc-arm-none-eabi)
package works well.
