20035: Bump version of UF2 package r=MrKevinWeiss a=MichelRottleuthner ### Contribution description Bump UF2 package version. The new version, besides many other things, also includes an improvement to search more potential mount paths, which gives better compatibility for different distros. ### Testing procedure Test if flashing still works for boards that use UF2 (e.g., `feather-nrf52840`, `feather-nrf52840-sense`, `nrf52840-mdk-dongle`): `BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1 BOARD=feather-nrf52840-sense make -C examples/hello-world all flash term` With master you should get this error, during flashing: `No drive to deploy.` if you run it on a distro that mounts your device under something like `/run/media/<username>/FTHRSNSBOOT`, or other paths not supported by the old version. To me this happened on Arch. **Note: you will still get this error if your system doesn't auto mount the device.** But now it will be found when mounted ;) With this PR try again with the UF2 util: `rm -rf build/pkg/UF2` `BUILD_IN_DOCKER=1 BOARD=feather-nrf52840-sense make -C examples/hello-world all flash term` It should use the new pkg version and flash successfully: ``` ... [INFO] uf2conv.py not found - fetching it from GitHub now CC= CFLAGS= make -C /home/michel/devel/riot/dist/tools/uf2 [INFO] uf2conv.py successfully fetched! ... Flashing /run/media/michel/FTHRSNSBOOT (nRF52840-Feather-Sense) Wrote 63488 bytes to /run/media/michel/FTHRSNSBOOT/NEW.UF2 ... ``` ### Issues/PRs references Fixes the mount path problem described in #20027.

Contribution description
This adds support for the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 Sense. A nice prototyping board that comes with many onboard sensors. RIOT already supports most of it.
Note: you may need to update the bootloader in order to make flashing work. Version 0.7 worked fine for me. Note that some OSes do not auto mount the UF2 drive which prevents flashing. The uf2 helper
dist/tools/uf2/uf2conv.pycould use some improvements for handling distro-specific mount paths properly, which also applies to existing boards.Unsupported features
Making use of the LSM6DS33 gyro/accelerometer might need some work on an existing driver (#17053). Currently there is no support for the PDM peripheral used by the digital MEMS microphone. The NeoPixel LED lacks an nrf52-specific integration for the
ws281xdriver. All of that can be done in follow ups.Testing procedure
Flash and run some apps e.g.,
examples/gnrc_networkingandexamples/sauland check that both work as intended.In the saul app
> saul read allshould give you a bunch of correct readings for the sensors. Both worked fine for me.Issues/PRs references
None.
