Hi Xili,
in addition to Kaspars mail: The Arduino-mega2560 has no GPIO
implementation right now (and also no SPI). That's why there is no
transceiver support even if we have this architecure-independet drivers.
You could use other boards to drive your Xbee like stm boards or
arduino-due. They are cheaper but you need cables. (When using
arduino-due be aware of the pinout, I'm not sure if we already managed
to configure the pins so one could just plug the Xbee shield on the board).
Regarding the Atmel sam21: Even if the status is "in progress" I
recommend that platform. It is well supported in RIOT and used by many
of our core developers. I think "in progress" means that not all
features are implemented now. But the most are, right now.
Best,
Peter

Actually, we have a Xbee transceiver hardware attached to

some transceiver hardware (for example, Xbee transceiver) for Arduino mega

RIOT's design has architecture-independent drivers. Xbee is supported.
You should be able to use this combination.
That said, the network stack is in flux right now. While link-layer
communication should work rather nice, higher layers, e.g., 6lowpan, are
in stabilzation phase right now.
For the board "Atmel samr21 xplained pro" you recommend, the supported
platform table (https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/RIOT-Platforms) says
this board's support status is "In Progress". I don't know whether we can
choose this or not.
A lot of core devs are using the samr21, so it's probably the most
supported board wrt networking.
Kaspar
