Description

The Atmel® SAM R21 Xplained Pro evaluation kit is a hardware platform to evaluate the ATSAMR21G18A microcontroller. Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit provides easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAMR21G18A and explains how to integrate the device in a custom design. The Xplained Pro MCU series evaluation kits include an on-board Embedded Debugger, and no external tools are necessary to program or debug the ATSAMR21G18A. The Xplained Pro extension kits offer additional peripherals to extend the features of the board and ease the development of custom designs.
