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

 Applications for the ``ctcc/nrf52840`` board target can be
 built in the usual way (see :ref:`build_an_application` for more details).

 Flashing
 ========

 The board supports the following programming options:

 1. Using an external :ref:`debug probe <debug-probes>`
 2. Using MCUboot with DFU support

 Option 1: Using an External Debug Probe
 ---------------------------------------

 Connectivity Card can be programmed using an external debug probe (Segger J-Link) by connecting
 to on-board SWD test pads.

 For Segger J-Link debug probes, follow the instructions in the
 :ref:`nordic_segger` page to install and configure all the necessary
 software. Further information can be found in :ref:`nordic_segger_flashing`.

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

 Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`usb-cdc-acm-console` application which prints out
 logs on emulated USB port.

 .. zephyr-app-commands::
    :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/usb/console
    :board: ctcc/nrf52840
    :goals: build flash

 Debugging
 =========

 The ``ctcc/nrf52840`` board target does not have an on-board J-Link debug IC, however
 instructions from the :ref:`nordic_segger` page also apply to this board,
 with the additional step of connecting an external debugger.

 Option 2: Using MCUboot with DFU support
 ----------------------------------------

 It is also possible to use the MCUboot bootloader with DFU support to flash
 Zephyr applications. You need to flash MCUboot with DFU support and fill in slot0 with
 some application one-time using Option 1. Then you can re-flash an application using DFU utility
 by loading images to slot1. Note, it's not possible to have only MCUboot and load directly
 software to slot0 due to DFU implementation in Zephyr, which for present slot0 and slot1 in flash
 map, it assumes only slot1 partition as writeable.

 Install ``dfu-util`` first and make sure MCUboot's ``imgtool`` is
 available for signing your binary for MCUboot as described on :ref:`west-sign`.

 Next, do the **one-time setup** to flash MCUboot with DFU support.
 We'll assume you've cloned the `MCUboot`_ as a submodule when initializing
 Zephyr repositories using :ref:`west` tool.

 #. Compile MCUboot as a Zephyr application with DFU support.

    .. zephyr-app-commands::
       :app: mcuboot/boot/zephyr
       :board: ctcc/nrf52840
       :build-dir: mcuboot
       :goals: build
       :gen-args: -DCONFIG_BOOT_USB_DFU_WAIT=y

 #. Flash it onto the board as described in Option 1.

 #. Flash other Zephyr application to fill in slot0 e.g:

    .. zephyr-app-commands::
       :app: samples/subsys/usb/dfu
       :board: ctcc/nrf52840
       :build-dir: dfu
       :goals: build
       :gen-args: -DCONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y -DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE=\"path/to/mcuboot/boot/root-rsa-2048.pem\"

 You can now flash a Zephyr application to the board using DFU util.
 As an example we'll use the :zephyr:code-sample:`usb-cdc-acm-console` sample.

    .. zephyr-app-commands::
       :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/usb/console
       :board: ctcc/nrf52840
       :goals: build flash
       :gen-args: -DCONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y -DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE=\"path/to/mcuboot/boot/root-rsa-2048.pem\"

 .. note::

    In all examples it is assumed to use default `root-rsa-2048.pem` file from ``mcuboot/boot``
    directory. Providing certificate in build args produces signed binary automatically.
    Do not use this certificate in your production firmware!

 #. Plug in ``ctcc/nrf52840`` card to mPCIe/M.2 slot or use mPCIe/M.2 adapter to USB
    and plug such adapter to USB port.

    You should see ``NordicSemiconductor MCUBOOT`` or ``NordicSemiconductor Zephyr DFU sample``
    (if you flashed `dfu` sample to slot0) device once plugging it into host
    USB port. You can check that on Linux system by entering ``lsusb`` command.

    To check if DFU device is visible you can enter ``sudo dfu-util -l`` command. Once the
    device is visible you can flash Zephyr image using DFU util: ``sudo dfu-util --alt 1 --download build/zephyr/zephyr.signed.bin``

	:goals: build
	:gen-args: -DCONFIG_BOOT_USB_DFU_WAIT=y

	#. Flash it onto the board as described in Option 1.

	#. Flash other Zephyr application to fill in slot0 e.g:

	.. zephyr-app-commands::
	:app: samples/subsys/usb/dfu
	:board: ctcc/nrf52840
	:build-dir: dfu
	:goals: build
	:gen-args: -DCONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y -DCONFIG_MCUBOOT_SIGNATURE_KEY_FILE=\"path/to/mcuboot/boot/root-rsa-2048.pem\"

	You can now flash a Zephyr application to the board using DFU util.
	As an example we'll use the :zephyr:code-sample:`usb-cdc-acm-console` sample.
