Getting started
with development
Go through the next steps in the Getting started with nRF53 Series documentation.
The documentation goes through running a first test to enable Bluetooth Low Energy communication between your phone and the nRF5340 DK. It also discusses the installation of nRF Connect SDK and programming, testing and debugging an application.
