Programming and Debugging
|
|
*************************
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Follow the instructions in the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install
|
|
and configure all the necessary software. Further information can be
|
|
found in :ref:`nordic_segger_flashing`. Then build and flash
|
|
applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
|
|
:ref:`application_run` for more details).
|
|
|
|
Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application.
|
|
|
|
First, run your favorite terminal program to listen for output.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ minicom -D <tty_device> -b 115200
|
|
|
|
Replace :code:`<tty_device>` with the port where the board nRF51 Dongle
|
|
can be found. For example, under Linux, :code:`/dev/ttyACM0`.
|
|
|
|
Then build and flash the application in the usual way.
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
|
|
:board: nrf51dongle/nrf51822
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Refer to the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to learn about debugging Nordic boards with a
|
|
Segger IC.
|
|
|
|
Testing the LEDs on the nRF51 Dongle
|
|
************************************
|
|
|
|
Build and flash the :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` sample to test that the onboard LED
|
|
is working properly with Zephyr.
