### Flash the board
See the **Flashing** section in @ref boards_common_nrf52. The easiest way is to
use an external Segger J-Link Programmer connected to the [SWD Connector].

### Terminal
To connect a terminal to the Feather, RIOT chooses Segger RTT per default.
This lets you use the Segger J-Link Programmer as a serial interface to the
device.
You have several alternative possibilities to connect to the board.
1. With
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {.mk}
USEMODULE += stdio_uart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and an FTDI adapter connected to the Feather's RX and TX ports you can use
UART-based terminals to connect to the feather
2. With
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ {.mk}
USEMODULE += stdio_cdc_acm
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you can access the Feather with a terminal directly over USB.
