Lower memory SAMD21 variant

Hi @nijupp24

I managed to track down a fork of BOSSA on Github that had a precompiled release, containing a bossac.exe file that should be compatible with the SAMD21E17D. The repository release is located here: https://github.com/ElectronicCats/BOSSA/releases/tag/v1.1.1.

I've tested it on my custom SAMD21G18A board and it worked with that, so hopefully it might work on your SAMD21E17D target.

First of all, I'm presuming you're using a Windows OS.

  1. Download the bossac-v1.1.1-win32.zip file and extract it. This folder will contain a bossac.exe file.

  2. Navigate to the directory (on my machine at least): C:\Users\Computer\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\bossac\1.7.0-arduino3\

  3. Move the current bossac.exe file to somewhere safe in another directory and replace it with the newly extracted one.

  4. Now try selecting the board "Arduino Zero (Native USB Port)" in the Arduino IDE after selecting the board's COM port and try to compile and upload a simple sketch.

Please let me know if it's successful (or not)? Fingers crossed.
