Atmel ATSAML21-XPRO-B
SAM L21 Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit
The Atmel® | SMART SAM L21 Xplained Pro evaluation kit is ideal for evaluating and prototyping with the ultra low power Atmel SAM L21 ARM® Cortex®-M0+ based microcontrollers. Several extension boards that add functionality to the SAM D21 Xplained Pro, such as WiFi & Bluetooth connectivity, motion sensing, displaye etc. can be purchased separately.
Supported by the Atmel Studio integrated development platform, the kit provides easy access to the features of the Atmel ATSAML21J18B microcontroller 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 ATSAML21J18B MCU. The Xplained Pro extension kits offers additional peripherals to extend the features of the board and ease the development of custom designs
