Prerequisites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

-  You have installed Docker container of Newt tool and toolchains or
   you have installed them natively on your machine
-  You have created a new project space (directory structure) and
   populated it with the core code repository (apache-mynewt-core) or
   know how to as explained in :doc:`../get_started/project_create`.
-  You have at least one of the supported development boards:

   -  :doc:`Arduino Zero <blinky/arduino_zero>`
   -  :doc:`Olimex <blinky/olimex>`
   -  :doc:`nRF52 <blinky/nRF52>`

The Nordic nrf52 developer kit supports Bluetooth Low Energy. We are
always looking to add new hardware to the list, so if you want to
develop the required Board Support Package (bsp) and/or Hardware
Abstraction Layer (HAL) for a new board, you can look
:doc:`../os/core_os/porting/port_os` to get started.
