just spent a chunk of my morning wrestling with Arduino for the op amp lab, then moved to a bare metal starter project because that wasn't working, and I found myself cursing and wishing someone had just built an easy to use framework for building simple firmware for the SAM L21. then I remembered: I did that. last fall. I even wrote a hecking README. what is happening with my brain? github.com/joeycastillo/gossam

it came back to me right as I was modifying a linker file to account for the extra space occupied by the bootloader. some deeply-burrowed eight-month-old neuron raised its hand: “didn't we do this already?” then another: “yeah, and we swore we'd never do it again…”

right, yeah, that was easy. I even had the blinky test app configured for the old SAM L21 Feather; all I had to do was update the pin assignments, make and make install. can't believe I came in early to work on this.

@joeycastillo I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this stuff.
