The intention was to get preliminary support for this board fast. For this I chose to implement one UART using one SERCOM. It can be seen as prototype and be applied to additional SERCOMs if needed.

How do we proceed with the 5 SERCOM? I’d suggest we take one SERCOM for SPI (needed for the radio device) and one for I2C to provide an example implementation for someone interested into this board. How many of each of them (SPI,I2C,USART) one would actually use later could then be configured via periph_conf.h by adopting to individual needs. One could say I don’t need an USART I’ll take the spare SERCOM to physically connect another SPI device or similar. > You chose PIN_PA04 and PIN_PA05 for UART 0.

For this we’d have to consult the multiplexing table in the Atmel data sheet p. 12. There are not too many possible combinations. Currently I’m busy developing sensor drivers for the iot-lab_M3 for a demo we give beginning of November. When these are done the samr21 will get some more love again. :) Best, Thomas _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.riot-os.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
