Programming and Debugging
Applications for the blueclover_plt_demo_v2/nrf52832 board configuration
can be built and flashed in the usual way (see Building an Application
and Run an Application for more details).
Flashing
Flashing Zephyr onto the blueclover_plt_demo_v2/nrf52832 board requires
an external programmer. The programmer is attached to the SWD header.
Build the Zephyr kernel and the LED strip sample application.
