however, if I go by Shurik, which is a rather common (in Russia) short form of Alexander, I get a very different statistics

You provide one plain text config file and variants.cpp file that describes which pin of the chip correspond to what pin numbers in arduino IDE and what peripherals they use. That is the real job of designer, it cant' be automated.
after that you run the python script and it does the rest.

It requires reading through ton of documents, package specifications, structure of json files, etc.

90% of this can be automated, so I made use of everything I had learned and wrote a python script.

Started on a new project.
I want to automate the task of adding arduino support for custom-built SAMD boards.
When you make a board, you need to build and flash the bootloader, then you need to add support to this board to Arduino IDE.

My eyesight is not what it used to be, so I decided to use big screen for flashing bootloader to bare SAMD21 boards.
Like... 100 inch screen.

in my time, roubles were smaller :)
but seriously, it is not a commemorative. They really planned to use these monsters as actual money, in 1771 - but later abandoned the idea (I wonder why...)

Will it support flashing bootloader via JTAG/SWD?

Just saw a message from JLCPCB stating that their 3D printing prices now start at $0.30 per piece (previous minimum price was to $1).
Of course, it so happens that I just ordered a bunch of 3d printed parts last week...

Hi all!
decided to try this place, too - after leaving Twitter for Mastodon.
And here is the important first post, to introduce myself: some of the things I love - robots and cats.
