    Build Settings

  5. Once the build succeeds, you will find the zephyr.uf2 file in the firmware/build/zephyr directory.

  6. Double-click on the reset button of the device(see on image below) . The device will appear on your computer as a disk. Drag and drop the zephyr.uf2 file into it.

    Note: On a Mac, you might see an error message after dropping the file, indicating that the process did not complete. This is just a Mac-specific error; the firmware is successfully uploaded.

    If you have an assembled device, you can put a stick pin/needle into this whole and double-click 2 times
