Start Application Development
*****************************

Before powering up your M5Stack ATOM Lite, please make sure that the board is in good
condition with no obvious signs of damage.

System requirements
===================

Prerequisites
-------------

Espressif HAL requires WiFi and Bluetooth binary blobs in order work. Run the command
below to retrieve those files.

.. code-block:: shell

   west blobs fetch hal_espressif

.. note::

   It is recommended running the command above after :file:`west update`.

Building & Flashing
-------------------

Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and
:ref:`application_run` for more details).

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: m5stack_atom_lite/esp32/procpu
   :goals: build

The usual ``flash`` target will work with the ``m5stack_atom_lite`` board
configuration. Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world`
application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: m5stack_atom_lite/esp32/procpu
   :goals: flash

The baud rate of 921600bps is set by default. If experiencing issues when flashing,
try using different values by using ``--esp-baud-rate <BAUD>`` option during
``west flash`` (e.g. ``west flash --esp-baud-rate 115200``).

You can also open the serial monitor using the following command:

.. code-block:: shell

   west espressif monitor

After the board has automatically reset and booted, you should see the following
message in the monitor:

.. code-block:: console

   ***** Booting Zephyr OS vx.x.x-xxx-gxxxxxxxxxxxx *****
   Hello World! m5stack_atom_lite

Debugging
---------

M5Stack ATOM Lite debugging is not supported due to pinout limitations.
