| A [Matter shell](../README.md) project for the Nordic nRF52840 and nRF5340 |
| development kits, built using the nRF Connect SDK. |
| |
| ## Building |
| |
| The steps to build the Shell Application for Nordic Semiconductor's development |
| kits are exactly the same as in case of the Lock Example. Please refer to |
| [this guide](../../lock-app/nrfconnect/README.md) to learn how to build, |
| program, and debug the application. |
