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

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.
Hi guys, can you describe more about this mcu? Peripherals, ICSP, mcu equivalent in market (functionality). Thanks
