+@brief       Support for the Microchip SAML11 Xplained Pro board.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `SAML11 Xplained Pro` is an ultra-low power evaluation board by Microchip
+featuring a ATSAML11E16A SoC. The SoC includes a SAML11 ARM Cortex-M23 micro-
+controller. For programming the MCU comes with 16KB of RAM and 64KB of flash
+memory. In addition, this SoC features the ARM TrustZone technology.

+## Flashing the device
+
+Connect the device to your Micro-USB cable.
+
+The standard method for flashing RIOT to the saml11-xpro is using EDBG.
+
+## Supported Toolchains
+
+For using the saml11-xpro board we strongly recommend the usage of the
+[GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded)
+toolchain.
