General information about the SAMD port
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
The SAMD21/SAMD51 MCU family is a high performance family of devices made by MicroChip.
|
|
The SAMD21 devices are based on an ARM M0+ core, the SAMD51 device on ARM Cortex M4 core.
|
|
They provide many on-chip I/O units for building small to medium sized devices.
|
|
|
|
Multitude of boards
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
There is a multitude of modules and boards from different sources which carry
|
|
an SAMD21/SAMD51 chip. MicroPython aims to provide a generic port which runs on
|
|
as many boards/modules as possible, but there may be limitations. The
|
|
Adafruit ItsyBitsy M0 Express, Adafruit Feather M4 Express and the Adafruit ItsyBitsy M4 Express
|
|
development boards are taken as reference for the port (for example, testing is performed on them).
|
|
For any board you are using please make sure you have a data sheet, schematics
|
|
and other reference materials so you can look up any board-specific functions.
|
|
|
|
The following boards are at the moment supported by the port:
|
|
|
|
- ADAFRUIT FEATHER M0 EXPRESS
|
|
- ADAFRUIT FEATHER M4 EXPRESS
|
|
- ADAFRUIT ITSYBITSY M0 EXPRESS
|
|
- ADAFRUIT ITSYBITSY M4 EXPRESS
|
|
- ADAFRUIT TRINKET M0
|
|
- MINISAM M4
|
|
- SAMD21 XPLAINED PRO
|
|
- SEEED WIO TERMINAL
|
|
- SEEED XIAO
|
|
|
|
To make a generic SAMD port and support as many boards as possible the
|
|
following design and implementation decision were made:
|
|
|
|
* GPIO pin numbering is based on the board numbering.
|
|
Please have the manual/pin diagram of your board at hand
|
|
to find correspondence between your board pins and actual SAMD21/SAMD51 pins.
|
|
For the boards listed above, the relation between the board pin number and
|
|
the GPIO number can be found at :ref:`samd_pinout`.
|
|
* The pins that can be used by MicroPython are limited to those listed
|
|
in the board definition files.
|
|
|
|
Technical specifications and SoC data sheets
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The data sheets and other reference material for SAMD21/SAMD51 chip are available
|
|
from the vendor site: https://www.microchip.com/en-us/products/microcontrollers-and-microprocessors/32-bit-mcus/sam-32-bit-mcus
|
|
They are the primary reference for the chip technical specifications, capabilities,
|
|
operating modes, internal functioning, etc.
|
|
|
|
For your convenience, a few technical specifications are provided below:
|
|
|
|
SAMD21:
|
|
|
|
* Architecture: ARM Cortex M0+
|
|
* CPU frequency: up to 48MHz
|
|
* Total RAM available: up to 32 kB (see table)
|
|
* Internal FlashROM: up to 256 kB
|
|
Some boards provide additional external SPI flash.
|
|
* GPIO: up to 52 (GPIOs are multiplexed with other functions, including
|
|
external FlashROM, UART, etc.)
|
|
* UART: up to 6 serial devices, which can used for UART, SPI or I2C.
|
|
* I2S: 1 I2S interfaces
|
|
* ADC: One 12-bit SAR ADC converter with 16 channels.
|
|
* Programming: using BootROM bootloader from USB.
|
|
|
|
SAMD51:
|
|
|
|
* Architecture: ARM Cortex M4
|
|
* CPU frequency: up to 120MHz
|
|
* Total RAM available: up to 256 kB
|
|
* Internal FlashROM: up to 1 MB
|
|
Some boards provide additional external SPI flash.
|
|
* GPIO: up to 99 (GPIOs are multiplexed with other functions, including
|
|
external FlashROM, UART, etc.)
|
|
* UART: up to 8 serial devices, which can used for UART, SPI or I2C.
|
|
* I2S: 1 I2S interfaces
|
|
* ADC: Dual 12-bit SAR ADC converter with 16 channels.
|
|
* Programming: using BootROM bootloader from USB.

For more information see the excellent SAMD21/SAMD51 data sheets or reference manuals.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, the SAM21 port of MicroPython requires 256kB flash, of which 64kB is used
|
|
for a small file system. The SAM51 port requires 512 kB of flash, of which all flash beyond
|
|
384kB is used for a file system. Some boards have additional flash memory, which can be used
|
|
as additional file space.
