Getting Started

Run Command Prompt.

Go to the directory where you would like your Zephyr project to be.

cd <path\to\zephyr-projects>

Create a new virtual environment.

python -m venv zephyr-project\.venv

Activate the virtual environment.

zephyr-project\.venv\Scripts\activate.bat

Once activated your shell will be prefixed with (.venv). The virtual environment can be deactivated at any time by running deactivate.

Install west.

pip install west

Initialize the workspace and get the Zephyr source code.

west init -m https://github.com/borrelunde/zephyr-application --mr master zephyr-project
cd zephyr-project
west update

Export a Zephyr CMake package. This allows CMake to automatically load boilerplate code required for building Zephyr applications.

west zephyr-export

Zephyr's scripts\requirements.txt file declares additional Python dependencies. Install them with pip.

pip install -r zephyr\scripts\requirements.txt

Enter the application directory.

cd zephyr-application

Build the application. You can replace the board name nrf52840dk_nrf52840 with a board of your liking.

west build -b nrf52840dk_nrf52840 app

Flash the application to the board.

west flash
