We have seen a lot of arduino compatible devices just being compatible in hardware pinout. How will mARS be arduino compatible? Also, what is the scholar level of your target group?

This was one of the other question that came to me while reading the article. It says that it will be arduino compatible, and that it can replace ARM M0, or at least that's the idea. Do you think that's possible?. I mean, for that to happen you need the big players in the industry interested in this proyect, but it seems to be an educational microcontroller.

The description of hardware peripherals will be open?

Programming examples, registers documentation and Schematics will be provided. Remember the old National Semiconductor Databooks? We would release the complete design data, so users will be able to propose different ideas with the integrated HW.

As the current ARM microcontrollers (Atmel SAMD11-21), we will load a bootloader that will allow connection/translation to Arduino software.

Re:Arduino-compatible open-source 32-bit microcontroller by hgomezuis on Saturday September 17, 2016 @04:16PM (#12522237)

Eight GPIOs up to 80mA of current capability.
