4BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers.
5The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software.
6BOSSA is an acronym for Basic Open Source SAM-BA Application to reflect that goal.
