Programming and Debugging
*************************

Applications for the ``croxel_cx1825/nrf52840`` board configuration
can be built and flashed in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application`
and :ref:`application_run` for more details).

Flashing
========

Flashing Zephyr onto the ``croxel_cx1825_nrf52840`` board requires
an external programmer. The programmer is attached to the SWD header.

Build the Zephyr kernel and the :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` sample application.

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
      :board: croxel_cx1825/nrf52840
      :goals: build
      :compact:

Flash the image.

   .. zephyr-app-commands::
      :zephyr-app: samples/basic/blinky
      :board: croxel_cx1825/nrf52840
      :goals: flash
      :compact:

You should see the red LED blink.
