Configuration

Please use samr21_xpro ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:samr21_xpro]
platform = atmelsam
board = samr21_xpro

You can override default Atmel ATSAMR21-XPRO settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest samr21_xpro.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:samr21_xpro]
platform = atmelsam
board = samr21_xpro

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = samr21g18a

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 48000000L

Uploading

Atmel ATSAMR21-XPRO supports the following uploading protocols:

  • atmel-ice

  • blackmagic

  • cmsis-dap

  • jlink

Default protocol is cmsis-dap

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:samr21_xpro]
platform = atmelsam
board = samr21_xpro

upload_protocol = cmsis-dap

Debugging

Debugging - “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 ATSAMR21-XPRO has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
