Icarus on the Zephyr Realtime Operating System (using nRF Connect SDK)

The board definition files and MCUboot support are already merged into the official repositories, so just choose boards/arm/actinius_icarus from your Zephyr folder when setting up your project and start developing!

nRF Connect SDK v1.4.0

The release version v1.4.0 of the nRF Connect SDK contains an issue which breaks builds targeting the Icarus. Please update directly to a version equal or higher to v1.4.1 (once available) or alternatively replace the board files in ncs/zephyr/boards/arm/actinius_icarus with the board files in boards_arm_actinius_icarus.zip
