+# Arduino Core for SAMD21 CPU
+
+This repository containts the source code and configuration files of the Arduino Core
+for Atmel's SAMD21 processor (used on the Arduino Zero board).
+
+## Installation on Arduino IDE
+
+Just open the "Boards Manager" and install the package called:
+
+```
+Arduino SAMD Boards (32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+)
+```
+
+## Hourly builds
+
+This repository is under a CI system that every hour checks if there are updates and
+builds a release for testing (the so called "Hourly builds").
+
+The hourly builds are available through Boards Manager. If you want to install them:
+  1. Open the **Preferences** of the Arduino IDE.
+  2. Add this URL `http://downloads.arduino.cc/Hourly/samd/package_samd-hourly-build_index.json` in the **Additional Boards Manager URLs** field, and click OK.
+  3. Open the **Boards Manager** (menu Tools->Board->Board Manager...)
+  4. Install **Arduino SAMD core - Hourly build**
+  5. Select one of the boards under **SAMD Hourly build XX** in Tools->Board menu
+  6. Compile/Upload as usual
+
+If you already installed an hourly build and you want to update it with the latest:
+  1. Open the **Boards Manager** (menu Tools->Board->Board Manager...)
+  2. Remove **Arduino SAMD core - Hourly build**
+  3. Install again **Arduino SAMD core - Hourly build**, the Board Manager will download the latest build replacing the old one.
