+# Setup
+
+Before you can build, you will need to run the following commands once:
+
+```
+$ cd circuitpython
+$ git submodule update --init
+$ make -C mpy-cross
+```
+
+You then need to download the SD and Nordic SDK files:
+
+> This script relies on `wget`, which must be available from the command line.
+
+```
+$ cd ports/nrf
+$ ./drivers/bluetooth/download_ble_stack.sh
+```
+
+# Building and flashing firmware images
+
+## Building CircuitPython
+
+#### REPL over UART (default settings)
+
+To build a CircuitPython binary with default settings for the
+`feather52` target enter:
+
+```
+$ make BOARD=feather52 V=1
+```
+
+#### REPL over BLE UART (AKA `NUS`)
+
+To build a CircuitPython binary with REPL over BLE UART, edit
+`bluetooth_conf.h` with the following values (under
+`#elif (BLUETOOTH_SD == 132)`):
+
+```
+#define MICROPY_PY_BLE                  (1)
+#define MICROPY_PY_BLE_NUS              (1)
+#define BLUETOOTH_WEBBLUETOOTH_REPL     (1)
+```
+
+Then build the CircuitPython binary, including `SD=s132`
+to enable BLE support in the build process:
+
+```
+$ make BOARD=feather52 V=1 SD=s132
+```
+
+## Flashing with `nrfutil`
+
+The Adafruit Bluefruit nRF52 Feather ships with a serial and OTA BLE bootloader
+that can be used to flash firmware images over a simple serial connection,
+using the on-board USB serial converter.
+
+These commands assume that you have already installed `nrfutil`, as described
+in the [learning guide](https://learn.adafruit.com/bluefruit-nrf52-feather-learning-guide/arduino-bsp-setup)
+for the Arduino variant of the board.
+
+### 1. **Update bootloader** to single-bank version
+
+The Adafruit nRF52 Feather ships, by default, with a **dual-bank** bootloader
+that cuts the available flash memory in half in exchange for safer
+OTA updates.
+
+Due to the size of CircuitPython, we must migrate this bootloader to a
+**single-bank** version, doubling the amount of flash memory available to us.
+
+> These commands only need to be run once and will update the SoftDevice and
+bootloader from the dual-bank version that ships on Arduino-based Adafruit
+Feather52 boards to a single-bank CircuitPython compatible version:
+
+#### S132 v2.0.1 single-bank (recommended):
+
+By default s132 v2.0.1 is used when no `SOFTDEV_VERSION` field is passed in:
+
+```
+$ make BOARD=feather52 SERIAL=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART boot-flash
+```
+
+#### S132 v5.0.0 (BLE5, experimental):
+
+To enable BLE5 support and the latest S132 release, flash the v5.0.0 bootloader via:
+
+```
+$ make BOARD=feather52 SERIAL=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART SOFTDEV_VERSION=5.0.0 boot-flash
+```
+
+### 2. Generate a CircuitPython DFU .zip package and flash it over serial
+
+The following command will package and flash the CircuitPython binary using the
+appropriate bootloader mentionned above.
+
+This command assumes you have already build a valid circuitpython
+image, as described earlier in this readme.
+
+> The name of the serial port target will vary, depending on your OS.
+
+```
+$ make BOARD=feather52 SERIAL=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART dfu-gen dfu-flash
+```
+
+If you built your CircuitPython binary with **BLE UART** support you will
+need to add the `SD=s132` flag as shown below:
+
+```
+$ make BOARD=feather52 SERIAL=/dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART SD=s132 dfu-gen dfu-flash
+```
