Update Boards Manager for SODAQ SAMD v1.6.6

1

Hi,

There is a new version of the SODAQ SAMD boards for Arduino’s Boards Manager. It’s version
1.6.6. (Notice that the SODAQ AVR boards are still at version 1.0.3)

New in 1.6.6

  • an extra board variant called “SODAQ WDT”
  • an extra board variant called “SODAQ Autonomo with Serial3”
  • an extra board variant called “SODAQ Autonomo with Serial2 and Serial3”

As an extra reminder, you should have this url in your Arduino IDE preferences, and if you don’t, you should.

So what does SODAQ WDT do - I would assume watch dog timer but when I look at boards.txt it looks pretty much to enable SERIAL3

This WDT has nothing to do with watchdog. WDT is a new special purpose board. If you don’t have one then you shouldn’t be selecting it.

For Serial3 there is also a configuration “Autonomo with Serial3”.
