Go to File on the Arduino Software (IDE) and open the Examples tree; select 01. Basic and
then Blink
This sketch just flashes the built in LED connected to Digital pin LED_BUILTIN at one
second pace for on and off, but it is very useful to practice the loading of a sketch into the
Arduino Software (IDE) and the Upload to the connected board.
Upload the program
Press the second round icon from left on the top bar of the Arduino Software (IDE) or press
Ctrl+U or select the menu Sketch and then Upload. Please note that the time required to
load the sketch and the FPGA bitstream might be more than 30 seconds. If you want to get
more information about the upload process, you may activate in the preferences the show
verbose output during: option for upload.
The sketch will be compiled and then uploaded.
After a few seconds the bottom bar should show
Done Uploading.

Please Read
In this section we have collected some information that is worth reading to use your MKR
Vidor 4000 board properly. Some behaviors differ from the Uno board and if you come from
a former experience with that board, it is worth spending a few minutes reading through
these notes. If this is your first board, we suggest you have a look at them anyway.
