Flashing the device
Connect the device to your Micro-USB cable.
The standard method for flashing RIOT to the saml11-xpro is using EDBG.
Special case
SERCOM1 (available on EXT1 connector) needs an extra step to be usable. By default, this SERCOM is only available in the secure world. As RIOT doesn't support it for now, the only option, to use it, is to enable SERCOM non-secure mode. To do so, a fuse bit must be set in User ROW flash memory. Such action can be done with the following EDBG command: 'edbg -t saml11 -F w0,194,1' or pass it as argument when calling make: EDBG_ARGS="-F w0,194,1" BOARD=saml11-xpro make flash term -C tests/periph/uart
Supported Toolchains
For using the saml11-xpro board we strongly recommend the usage of the GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors toolchain.
