The Great Search - Programmer/Debugger for ATSAMD21 Chips @Adafruit @DigiKey @MicrochipMakes

This week we've got a request from someone who didn't manage to get a J-Link Mini EDU (https://www.digikey.com/short/rh972jb3) before the part shortage kicked in. These things were great for use for programming just about any ARM chip, and are very affordable for students! But you can't get them anymore.

In particular this customer wanted to use Atmel Studio to program and step-debug ATSAMD chips - in which case we let them know about the very-handy AVR-ICE modules. Despite being called AVR In Circuit Emulator, they are also good for any Atmel/MCP Cortex chip. They're also the only debugger/programmer that is supported from within Atmel Studio.

While the boxed ICE adapter is a lil expensive, there's a PCB-only board version we found, just don't forget to pick up a 10-pin SWD cable (https://www.digikey.com/short/r9tfpdn5) while you're there. NB: Yes, these are more expensive than your standard $20 CMSIS-DAP adapters, but if you are really spending a lot of time with AVR/SAM chips, they will save you a ton of time from having to fiddle with OpenOCD and we find they're worth the cost!
