Programming and Debugging
*************************
Flashing
========
Flashing Zephyr onto both the Feather nRF52840 Express and Sense is possible
using the SWD headers. Only the Express board has an SWD connector however.
Both the Feather nRF52840 Express and Sense ship with the `Adafruit nRF52 Bootloader`_
which supports flashing using `UF2`_. This allows easy flashing of new images,
but does not support debugging the device.
#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` sample application.

#. If using UF2, connect the board to your host computer using USB.
#. Tap the reset button twice quickly to enter bootloader mode.
A mass storage device named ``FTHR840BOOT`` for (Express) or
``FTHRSNSBOOT`` (Sense) should appear on the host. Ensure this is
mounted.
#. Flash the image.
