Macchina SAM Boards for Arduino IDE

Note that this is a work-in-progress, so please report any issues.

Installation

Under "Preferences", in the "additional Boards Manager URLs" field, paste:

https://macchina.cc/package_macchina_index.json

and hit "OK"

Then select "Board Manager" under Tools -> Boards, and install the following:

• Arduino SAM Boards (32-bit ARM Cortex-M3) by Arduino
• Macchina SAM Boards by Macchina

You should now have a "Macchina SAM Boards" category under the Tools -> Boards menu in the Arduino IDE.

Manual installation instructions (not using the Board Manager) can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Contributing
