Step 0: Download and setup Zephyr

• Download and setup the Zephyr development environment from https://www.zephyrproject.org. You can find more information about installing the Zephyr SDK at https://www.zephyrproject.org/doc/getting_started/getting_started.html

$ git clone https://gerrit.zephyrproject.org/r/zephyr

Step 1: Build the Zephyr shell application

$ cd zephyr
$ source zephyr-env.sh
$ cd samples/subsys/shell/shell
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=96b_nitrogen ..
$ make
$ sudo make flash

The application will be available at samples/subsys/shell/shell/build/zephyr/zephyr.hex.

Step 2: Proceed to Installation page for flashing instructions

Proceed to flash the Zephyr application binary over USB-UART or USB-DFU. Host machine specific flashing instructions can be found on the "Installation" page, link found below.
