Port of MicroPython to Microchip SAMD MCUs
Supports SAMD21 and SAMD51.
Features:
REPL
- REPL over USB VCP
- REPL over USART using board specified USART pins (initialised on startup).
- The USART Pins are board specific, defined in
boards/$(BOARD)/mpconfigboard.h
, and set at compile time. See the table below. At this stage, the USART cannot be moved to different pins unlessmpconfigboard.h
is edited and the port recompiled. - Two USART functions are accessible through MicroPython:
uart_init()
. The 'C' function behind this function is what initialises the USART on startup. Calling this function in MicroPython resets any other peripheral operating on these pins and reconnects the USART SERCOM to the designated pins.uart_deinit()
. This simply 'disconnects' the SERCOM from the pins. The USART remains operating over USB VCP to maintain access to the REPL.
- The USART Pins are board specific, defined in

Each board has its own pin numbering scheme, so please see the table below (the structure is defined in
boards/$(BOARD)/pins.c
) for pin numbers referenced (index) by 'Pin'. Eg;SEEED_XIAO/pins.c
:{{&machine_pin_type}, PIN_PA02}, // A0/D0
means MicroPythonPin(0)
is SEEED_XIAO pin "A0/D0" on SAMD21G18A PortA, Pin2. -
Note: on the SEEED_XIAO, if the TX & TX pins are used by the
Pin()
class, thePin()
initialisation disconnects the pins from the SERCOM similar to the waymachine.uart_deinit()
does.
