Programming and Debugging

---

.. zephyr:board-supported-runners::

Applications for the blueclover_plt_demo_v2/nrf52832 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 blueclover_plt_demo_v2/nrf52832 board requires an external programmer. The programmer is attached to the SWD header.

Build the Zephyr kernel and the :zephyr:code-sample:led-strip sample application.
