Support files for SAMD21

register definitions -- pin naming files -- seems like Arduino likes renaming which we find difficult to support in firmware, so #include files Example files

Known issues as of 8/14

STOP statement in a program does not quite work correctly

USB 3.0 still flakey, not sure there is a fix for it, seems to have complaints about it in the Arduino forum.

Note to self -- program bootloader for SAMD21G MKRZero After stumbling around for an afternoon trying to figure out how to load a BOSSA compatible bootloader onto a MKR Zero clone, I accidentally stumbled onto how to do it. Using a uLink2 connected to the SW debug pins Use Arduino IDE, under tools ...

Then restart the Arduino (in this case a MKRZero), and startup BASICtools

You should see this welcome screen and you are ready to write BASIC programs on the Arduino

Before you run the BOSSA app, get the Arduino into download mode. Do that by hitting the RESET button twice. Run BOSSA app MAKE SURE you set the OFFSET to 0x2000 otherwise you will brick your part and require an ICE download arduino1.png Choose the serial port Choose one of the binary files Set Fla...

Run the BOSSA installer Download these 2 files - BASIC firmware binary for ArduinoZero and MKRzero BASIC_ arduino.zip Unzip the files to some directory Yes this is a moving target, and we are fixing small issues, so check back. These files were last updated Aug 13, 2019. I will keep updating this co...

Steps to download BASIC for SAMD21 If you have not download the BASICtools IDE download and install that now https://coridium.us/files/setupBASIC.exe then download the latest release BOSSA app which loads BASIC firmware https://github.com/shumatech/BOSSA/releases And this is the one we used - https:...

IAP calls or In Application Programming, gives access to a number of ROM routines to write flash, enable low power modes, get device IDs and other operations. With the inline Assembly capability of BASIC, it is easy to make these calls. For the LPC1768 we needed access to getting the device ID, in o...

We have moved away from the builtin ON type statements, as they are too limiting. In the blog and forum are now examples of multitasking that can easily handle button debounce. Another new example in the blog and forum shows an example of generating interrupts on a pin transition. For a debounce for...
