 ===== Getting started=====
-To configure all the necessary tools to start working with the n-PN board, two main elements need to be downloaded by the user.
-  * An **Integrated development environment (IDE)**. Although the n-PN board can support a wide variety of IDEs to work with, KEIL environment can be chosen for two main reasons:
-      - STM provides all the necessary LoRaWAN protocol drivers for the microcontroller embedded in the n-PN board for this IDE.
-      - KEIL IDE (MDK Version 5) is free for STM32F0 and STM32L0 microcontrollers and due to the n-PN board has an STM32L0 microcontroller, we are allowed to activate the license for this software environment (follow the instructions[[http://www2.keil.com/stmicroelectronics-stm32/mdk|here]]).
-  * The **Nimbus SDK** which contains the minimum files to start working with the n-PN board as well as some basic examples that the user can use as templates (Nimbus SDK is based on STM32CubeExpansion_LRWAN_V1.1.4 and can be found in the next repository: https://bitbucket.org/nimbus_it/pn_lora_node).
-  * After installing KEIL (MDK) IDE(and the license activated) and downloading the Nimbus SDK, there are several basics examples (using LoRaWAN technology) which the user can start working with. The examples can be found following the path: LoRaWAN_Examples / STM32CubeExpansion_LRWAN_V1.1.4 / Projects / Multi / Applications / LoRa /.
-  * Open Any Example folder (Button folder for this example) and open MDK-ARM folder.\\
-{{:nblocks:n-pn_gs1.png?700|}}
-  * Open N-PN folder.\\
-{{:nblocks:n-pn_gs2.png?700|}}
-  * Open Button project (Double click on Button.uvprojx).\\
-{{:nblocks:n-pn_gs3.png?700|}}
-  * The project is ready to be tested.\\
-{{:nblocks:n-pn_gs4.png?700|}}
-**NOTES:**
-  - KEIL IDE (MDK) may not have the libraries installed for the microcontroller embedded in the n-PN board, so a pop-up window will appear asking us to install those libraries. Just follow the instructions to install them up. You may reset your computer after the installation.
-  - If we double click on Button.uvprojx (a project file) and Windows does not recognise the extension file, just choose KEIL (MDK).
