## Zephyr Lab Guides with VS Code

This set of lab guides provide detailed steps to get started with Zephyr and the MCUXpresso extension for VS Code:

[Zephyr Lab Installation and Preparation](./Zephyr-Lab-Installation-and-Preparation)

Detailed step-by-step guides for specific boards, including [Training Zephyr Getting Started RT1060](./Training-Zephyr-Getting-Started-RT1060) and [Training Zephyr Getting Started MCXN947](./Training-Zephyr-Getting-Started-MCXN947).  These board labs include the following guides:
  * Building the Hello World sample
  * Intro to Zephyr Lab Kconfig
  * Debugging with VS Code and Thread Awareness
  * Intro to Devicetree
  * Lab Appendix: [Zephyr Lab Revert Workspace](./Zephyr-Lab-Revert-Workspace)

## Lab Notes

**Boards** - Lab guides are provided for the specific NXP boards listed above.  However, similar steps can also be performed on dozens of other NXP boards.  For the full list of boards supported upstream in Zephyr, see [NXP Supported Boards](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/boards/nxp/index.html).

**OS** - The lab steps are written for Windows 11.  But Zephyr and NXP's tools, including the [MCUXpresso extension for VS Code](https://github.com/nxp-mcuxpresso/vscode-for-mcux/wiki), are also supported on Ubuntu and macOS.  All the labs will work on each supported OS with minimal changes needed.

**Paths** - The file paths used in these steps follow the Windows guidelines in the [Zephyr Getting Started](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/latest/develop/getting_started/index.html) documentation, to place the *zephyrproject* folder in the user path `c:\Users\<USER_NAME>\zephyrproject`.  These steps reference the user name **NXP**, so the path provided in the steps is `c:\Users\NXP\zephyrproject`.  Be sure to change this path to match your installation.
