Configuration

Please use samd21g18a ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:samd21g18a]
platform = atmelsam
board = samd21g18a

You can override default Atmel ATSAMW25-XPRO settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest samd21g18a.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:samd21g18a]
platform = atmelsam
board = samd21g18a

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = samd21g18a

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 48000000L

Uploading

Atmel ATSAMW25-XPRO supports the next uploading protocols:

  • atmel-ice

  • blackmagic

  • cmsis-dap

  • jlink

Default protocol is cmsis-dap

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:samd21g18a]
platform = atmelsam
board = samd21g18a

upload_protocol = cmsis-dap

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Atmel ATSAMW25-XPRO has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.

Description

Arduino

Arduino Wiring-based Framework allows writing cross-platform software to control devices attached to a wide range of Arduino boards to create all kinds of creative coding, interactive objects, spaces or physical experiences.

mbed

The mbed framework The mbed SDK has been designed to provide enough hardware abstraction to be intuitive and concise, yet powerful enough to build complex projects. It is built on the low-level ARM CMSIS APIs, allowing you to code down to the metal if needed. In addition to RTOS, USB and Networking libraries, a cookbook of hundreds of reusable peripheral and module libraries have been built on top of the SDK by the mbed Developer Community.
