Programming and Debugging
=========================
Flashing an application
-----------------------
Connect your device to your host computer using the JLINK USB port.
The sample application :ref:`hello_world` is used for this example.
Build the Zephyr kernel and application, then flash it to the device:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: apollo3_evb
:goals: flash
.. note::
`west flash` requires `SEGGER J-Link software`_ and `pylink`_ Python module
to be installed on you host computer.
Open a serial terminal (minicom, putty, etc.) with the following settings:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
Reset the board and you should be able to see on the corresponding Serial Port
the following message:
.. code-block:: console
