I am working with the ScoutMaks Azul which is based on the nRF52840. It uses Circuit Python for programming and it is unclear how to use the PLT to upload new code.

The manual way is to plug the Azul into a computer where it mounts as a disk and then you copy and paste the new code into the top-level folder.

Can you point me in the direction of documentation for hardware connection and first time programming.

Thanks

Malcolm

  Hi Malcolm,

  You mentioned that your device uses the nRF52. We support programming this target in 2 ways:

  • SWD
  • USB

  You may use the "program" command in your test plan as described in the Test Plan Reference:

  https://docs.pltcloud.com/TestPlanReference#program---program-dut

  

  If you are using USB, you can use any of the exposed USB ports on the PLT.

  Best wishes,

  Pete

  Note, we do not yet support CircuitPython directly with the PLT.

  Is it possible to use the PLT without PLTcloud? I saw that with Debug mode you can upload test plans directly to the PLT.
