1. Add Ameba Arduino SDK link to Arduino IDE Additional Boards Manager

   Arduino IDE 1.6.5 and above versions support third party hardware so please make sure to use the latest Arduino IDE for better experience.

   https://github.com/Ameba-AIoT/ameba-arduino-pro2/raw/main/Arduino_package/package_realtek_amebapro2_early_index.json

   We also suggest to enable "Show verbose output" options on "compilation" and "upload" in Preference for easier debugging.

   
   

2. Install Ameba board in "Board Manager"

   Open "Tools" -> "Board" -> "Board Manager", wait for it to update additional hardware configurations, then type "ameba" in the search bar, you will see Realtek Ameba in the list.

   Press "Install" to start the installation.

   
   

3. Select your Ameba model in "Tools" -> "Board" -> "AmebaPro2 ARM (32-bits) Boards"

   Make sure you select the correct model for your board, otherwise your program might not work properly

   Now you are ready to develop and upload firmware onto Ameba.
