Flashing the device

Connect the device to your Micro-USB cable using the port labeled as DEBUG USB.

The standard method for flashing RIOT to the samd20-xpro is using edbg. by calling: make BOARD=samd20-xpro -C tests/leds flash

Note that on Linux, you will need libudev-dev package to be installed.

Users can also use openOCD to flash and/or debug the board using: PROGRAMMER=openocd make BOARD=samd20-xpro -C tests/leds flash

On Linux you will have to add a udev rule for hidraw, like

bash
echo 'KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev"' \
| sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb.rules
sudo service udev restart

Arch Linux

With yaourt:

yaourt -S libudev0
yaourt -S hidapi-git
yaourt -S openocd-git
# edit PKGBUILD, add "cmsis-dap hidapi-libusb" to "_features"

Ubuntu

Although this refers to setting up the SAMR21, this guide is still very helpful to understanding how to set up a solid RIOT development environment for the SAMD20: http://watr.li/samr21-dev-setup-ubuntu.html
