The Main Difference of ARM-based Microcontrollers

As I’ve been going far inside the SAMD21 Arduino boards, I’ve realized the main distinction of the ARM-core SAMD21 compared to the AVR architecture ATMega microcontrollers, and indeed to other microcontrollers I’ve used in the past. The ARM-core microcontrollers are actually a two part design. There is the ARM designed processor core, and the vendor …
