[Question] Configure unit tests for Arduino Nano 33 iot

Great question!

This seems to be a SAMD board, according to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/NANO33IoT which means you won't need a new entry in the packages: config -- sure enough, I see the board listed in the official definitions: https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json

The next step is to pull relevant data about the board itself: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-samd/blob/master/boards.txt#L174-L202

# Arduino NANO 33 IoT

The configuration itself in your .arduino-ci.yaml should be a straightforward copy of the format you see in default.yml; you will be defining a new platform, and these are my best guesses for the values:

platforms:

  nano_33_iot:
    board: arduino:samd:nano_33_iot
    package: arduino:samd
    gcc:
      features:
      defines:
        - CRYSTALLESS
        - __SAMD21G18A__
      warnings:
      flags:

If this ends up working for you, please paste that final configuration here and/or open a pull request to add it to default.yml.
