BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers. The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software. BOSSA is an acronym for Basic Open Source SAM-BA Application to reflect that goal.

BTW: BOSSA 1.8 worked fine until I selected the "wrong" com port. Once selected, the app crashed. On restarting the app, you get an immediate crash. In both cases, there was no crash dialog -- the app just died. Upgrading to 1.9.1 then started fine.

This is not a critical issue for me (yet). Currently there is no new firmware for my product so I don't really need the tool (yet).
