Running the code on the board

You are now ready to build the code and run it on the target hardware.

Click the Build button to compile source code, and link together.

Run and debug the code on the target

Ensure your board is connected to your host machine. Click Download to load it onto the Flash memory on the board.

Once flashed onto the board, you can start a debug session.

Open the Call Stack + Locals tab in the IDE. This will show the value of the variables a and b.

Step through the program and notice how the values of a and b change.

You will see the string “Hello world!” copy across and then eventually turn into capitals.
