|Board Name| Zephyr Board Name|
| :- | :- |
|[PIC32CX-BZ2 and WBZ451 Curiosity Development Board](https://www.microchip.com/en-us/development-tool/ev96b94a) |wbz451_curiosity|

## 2. Environment Setup<a name="step2">

### VS Code IDE (Recommended for Ease of Use)
 - [Getting Started with VS Code + Workbench for Zephyr](./docs/Workbench_for_Zephyr.md)

### Legacy Command Line
- Setup the zephyr environment by following the [Getting Started Guide — Zephyr Project Documentation link](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html).
- Instead of running west init to initialize a workspace based on the default manifest, use the following command.
```bash
west init -m https://github.com/Zephyr4Microchip/zephyr.git --mr mchp_pic32cxbz_v420 zephyrproject/
cd zephyrproject
west update
```
- Resume the steps in [Getting Started Guide — Zephyr Project Documentation link](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html).
- Before building the Blinky Sample, run the following command to fetch the required libraries.
```bash
west blobs fetch hal_microchip
```

## 3. Building Sample Applications<a name="step3">
- Build the Blinky with west build for WBZ451 Curiosity
```bash
cd zephyr
west build -p always -b wbz451_curiosity samples\basic\blinky
```
## 4. Getting Started with Applications<a name="step4">
- [Bluetooth LE Applications](./docs/Bluetooth%20LE%20Applications.md)
- [Open Thread Applications](./docs/Openthread_Sample_Applications.md)

## 5. Getting Started with OpenOCD<a name="step5">
- Refer the [Getting Started with OpenOCD](./docs/Getting_Started_with_OpenOCD.pdf)
