## Getting Started
Before getting started, make sure you have a proper Zephyr development
environment. You can follow the official
environment. Follow the official
[Zephyr Getting Started Guide](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/getting_started/index.html).
### Initialization
The first step is to initialize the workspace folder (``my-workspace``) where
the ``example-application`` and all Zephyr modules will be cloned. You can do
that by running:

### Build & Run
### Building and running
The application can be built by running:
To build the application, run the following command:
```shell
west build -b $BOARD app
```
where `$BOARD` is the target board. The `custom_plank` board found in this
repository can be used. Note that Zephyr sample boards may be used if an
