-Background
-==========
-The Calliope mini board comes with its own little utility library, that makes
-some of the boards unique feature like the 5x5 LED matrix usable to RIOT.
-
-This test application is therefore specialized for only that board and its
-purpose is to test and showcase the board specific utility library.
-
-
-Expected result
-===============
-When running this application, you should see the string
-`Welcome RIOT @ Calliope mini!` scrolling by on the boards LED matrix.
