SAM D21 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit
###################################

Overview
********

The SAM D21 Xplained Pro evaluation kit is ideal for evaluation and
prototyping with the SAM D21 Cortex®-M0+ processor-based
microcontrollers. The kit includes Atmel’s Embedded Debugger (EDBG),
which provides a full debug interface without the need for additional
hardware.

``boards/arm/atsamd21_xpro/atsamd21_xpro_defconfig``.

Pin Mapping
===========

The SAM D21 Xplained Pro evaluation kit has 3 GPIO controllers. These
controllers are responsible for pin muxing, input/output, pull-up, etc.

For mode details please refer to `SAM D21 Family Datasheet`_ and the `SAM D21
Xplained Pro Schematic`_.

Default Zephyr Peripheral Mapping:
----------------------------------
- SERCOM0 USART TX : PA10
- SERCOM0 USART RX : PA11
- SERCOM1 USART TX : PA16
- SERCOM1 USART RX : PA19
- SERCOM3 USART TX : PA22
- SERCOM3 USART RX : PA23
- SERCOM5 SPI MISO : PB16
- SERCOM5 SPI MOSI : PB22
- SERCOM5 SPI SCK  : PB23
- GPIO SPI CS      : PB17
- GPIO LED0        : PB30

System Clock
============

The SAMD21 MCU is configured to use the 32.768 kHz external oscillator
with the on-chip PLL generating the 48 MHz system clock.

Serial Port
===========

The SAMD21 MCU has six SERCOM based USARTs with three configured as USARTs in
this BSP. SERCOM3 is the default Zephyr console.

- SERCOM0 9600 8n1
- SERCOM1 115200 8n1
- SERCOM3 115200 8n1 connected to the onboard Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG)

SPI Port
========

The SAMD21 MCU has 6 SERCOM based SPIs. On the SAM D21 Xplained Pro,
SERCOM5 is connected to an 8 megabit SPI flash.

Programming and Debugging
*************************

The SAM D21 Xplained Pro comes with a Atmel Embedded Debugger (EDBG).  This
provides a debug interface to the SAMD21 chip and is supported by
OpenOCD.

Flashing
========

#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the ``hello_world`` sample application:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: atsamd21_xpro
      :goals: build
      :compact:

#. Connect the SAM D21 Xplained Pro to your host computer using the USB debug
   port.

#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. Under Linux the
   terminal should be :code:`/dev/ttyACM0`. For example:

   .. code-block:: console

      $ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0 -o

   The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
   string. Connection should be configured as follows:

   - Speed: 115200
   - Data: 8 bits
   - Parity: None
   - Stop bits: 1

#. To flash an image:

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
      :board: atsamd21_xpro
      :goals: flash
      :compact:

   You should see "Hello World! arm" in your terminal.
