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 was created by Scott Shumate with contributions from several contributors.
FortyTwo Systems added support for the SAMC21/SAMC21N line of microcontrollers.
The software is released under the terms of the BSD license as specified in the LICENSE file.
