Arduino Core for SAMD21 and SAMD51 CPU

This is a fork of Adafruit's SAMD21 Arduino repository. It defines new Arduino board definitions and uf2 bootloaders for the DSKY-matic component boards and Ben Krasnow's EL display.

The project's board definitions have bee pre-build as a GitHub release - that board package can be installed directly from the Arduino IDE or the arduino-cli command.

The URL is https://github.com/rrainey/ArduinoCore-samd/releases/download/x1.1.0/package_rrainey_dskymatic_index.json

You can modify and then rebuild this package using the script:

$ cd <this directory>
$ bash extras/dskymatic-platform-build.bash

This will build a file named dskymatic-samd-1.1.0.tar.bz2 which you can then manually install in the Arduino infrastructure.

Bugs or Issues

  • AREF must be tied to 3.3V for dac to work. This is a bug in the SAMD51 silicon.
  • USB host mode doesn't work yet

If you find a bug you can submit an issue here on github:

https://github.com/adafruit/ArduinoCore-samd

or if it is an issue with the upstream:
