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

Flashing
========

Follow the instructions in the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install
and configure all the necessary software.
To flash the board connect pins: SWDIO, SWDCLK, RST, GND from E73-TBB
to corresponding pins on your J-Link device, then build and flash the application in the usual way.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/blinky
   :board: ebyte_e73_tbb_nrf52832
   :goals: build flash

Debugging
=========

Refer to the :ref:`nordic_segger` page to learn about debugging Nordic chips with a
Segger IC.


Testing the LEDs and buttons in the E73-TBB
*******************************************

There are 2 samples that allow you to test that the buttons (switches) and LEDs on
the board are working properly with Zephyr:

.. code-block:: console

   :ref:`blinky-sample`
   :ref:`button-sample`

You can build and flash the examples to make sure Zephyr is running correctly on
your board. The button and LED definitions can be found in
:zephyr_file:`boards/arm/ebyte_e73_tbb_nrf52832/ebyte_e73_tbb_nrf52832.dts`.
