More information about the board can be found at the
`nRF51 Dongle website`_. The `Nordic Semiconductor TechDocs`_
contains the processor's information and the datasheet.
Hardware
********
nRF51 Dongle has two external oscillators. The frequency of
the slow clock is 32.768 kHz. The frequency of the main clock
is 16 MHz.

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.
