Arduino Core for SAM D21/R21 (E variant) CPU

This repository containts the source code and configuration files of the Arduino Core for Atmel's SAM D21 and R21 (E variant) processor (used on the FemtoUSB and FemtoBeacon board).

Installation on Arduino IDE

Please use Arduino IDE 1.8.1 or higher. Install the Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bits ARM Cortex-M0+) board package first.

On Ubuntu, you will need to add your user to the dialout group, and the plugdev group. You will need to add the following to /etc/udev/rules.d/98-openocd.rules (create if needed)

ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb|tty|hidraw", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
ATTRS{product}=="*CMSIS-DAP*", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"                                                                                                                                                                                
LABEL="openocd_rules_end

Run the following command to reload udev, unplug and plug your board back in after:

sudo udevadm control --reload

(See [http://arduino.stackexchange.com/questions/28566/arduino-zero-error-unable-to-find-cmsis-dap-device] )

Add the following package URL to the Additional Boards Manager URLs field in your Arduino IDE via File > Preferences (Settings tab).

The stable release URL is:

https://downloads.femtoduino.com/ArduinoCore-atsamd21e18a/package_atsamd21e18a-release-build_index.json

The hourly build URL is:

https://downloads.femtoduino.com/ArduinoCore-atsamd21e18a/package_atsamd21e18a-hourly-build_index.json

This core is now available as a package in the Arduino IDE cores manager. Just open the Boards Manager and install the package called:

"Atmel SAM D21/R21 core (ATSAMD21E18A/ATSAMR21E18A)" by Femtoduino

For SAM R21 support (ATMEL LwMesh), you will need our fork of library-atmel-lwmesh library, "at86rf233" branch. Simply add it to your Arduino library folder as "at86rf233"

See https://github.com/femtoduino/library-atmel-lwm/tree/at86rf233

You will also need the FreeIMU libraries (except "MotionDriver") from our fork of FreeIMU-Updates ("FemtoBeacon" branch). Remember to configure FreeIMU/FreeIMU.h

See https://github.com/femtoduino/FreeIMU-Updates

Support

This package is derrived from the Arduino Zero bootloader and core. It has been modified to work with the E variant of the SAM D21 chips.

There is a dedicated section of the Arduino Forum for general discussion and project assistance:
