This is a follow up to a previous post about bare-metal programming of the SAMD20 MCU. It has been tricky. There is a very complex clock system in the SAMD20 which is difficult to set up. The UART itself is pretty straight forward however and I’ve added a simple UART transmit example to the github repository.
Shown below is a listing for the UART related and main functions. System clock setup is done in another file (init.c).
Next step: Interrupts.

/* User LED is on PA0 */
/* This example uses SERCOM0 (UART mode) to send data to a host PC
