BOSSA 1.7.0
BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers. The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software. BOSSA is an acronym for Basic Open Source SAM-BA Application to reflect that goal.
The software has been originally created by Scott Shumate and improved over time by Arduino LLC and many other contributors.
the software is released under the terms of the BSD license as specificed in the LICENSE file.
