Programming and Debugging
Applications for the adafruit_feather_nrf52840 board configuration
can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application
and Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
Flashing Zephyr onto the adafruit_feather_nrf52480 board requires
an external programmer. The programmer is attached to the SWD header.
Build the Zephyr kernel and the Blinky sample application.
west build -b adafruit_feather_nrf52840 samples/basic/blinky
Flash the image.
west build -b adafruit_feather_nrf52840 samples/basic/blinky west flash
You should see the the red LED blink.
