Manage the Arduino SAMD boards

The arduino SAMD platform includes the Arduino Nano 33 IoT, Arduino Zero, Arduino M0 and Arduino Tian boards.

Install

To install the Arduino SAMD boards,

  • Ensure Arduino-CLI is installed.

  • Open a Terminal window.

  • Run

$
arduino-cli core install arduino:samd

Develop

Upload to Arduino M0 Pro

The Arduino M0 Pro has two USB connectors: one called native and another called programmer. Both can be used to upload a sketch.

However, the programming port offers a better stability and is required for debugging.

Programming port left, native USB port right

  • Click on Allow to proceed.

Upload to Arduino Zero

The Arduino Zero has two USB connectors: one called native and another called programmer. Both can be used to upload a sketch.

However, the programming port offers a better stability and is required for debugging.

Debug

Select the USB Port for the Arduino M0 Pro

  • Connect the USB cable to the Programmer USB Port is order to perform debugging. The native USB port doesn’t feature debugging.

  • Use the USB Programming port

Declare the Arduino Zero CMSIS-DAP device

On Linux, the Arduino Zero CMSIS-DAP device may need to be declared.

  • Open a Terminal window and run
$
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/98-openocd.rules
  • Edit
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
SUBSYSTEM!="usb|tty|hidraw", GOTO="openocd_rules_end"
ATTRS{product}=="*CMSIS-DAP*", MODE="664", GROUP="plugdev"
LABEL="openocd_rules_end"

  • Save and close with ++ctl+o++ Ctrl+X;

  • Update with

$
sudo udevadm control --reload
