Arduino Zero (Programming/Debug Port)¶

Hardware¶

Platform Atmel SAM: Atmel | SMART offers Flash- based ARM products based on the ARM Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M3 and Cortex-M4 architectures, ranging from 8KB to 2MB of Flash including a rich peripheral and feature mix.

Configuration¶

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

[env:zero]
platform = atmelsam
board = zero

You can override default Arduino Zero (Programming/Debug Port) settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest zero.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:zero]
platform = atmelsam
board = zero

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = samd21g18a

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 48000000L

Uploading¶

Arduino Zero (Programming/Debug Port) 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:zero]
platform = atmelsam
board = zero

upload_protocol = cmsis-dap

Debugging¶

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

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

Arduino Zero (Programming/Debug Port) has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
