### Using the Core in Arduino IDE/CLI

After running the `bootstrap.sh` script, you can symlink the core to `$sketchbook/hardware/arduino-git/zephyr`. Once linked, it will appear in the IDE/CLI, and the board's Fully Qualified Board Name (FQBN) will be formatted as `arduino-git:zephyr:name_from_boards_txt`.
234+
After running the `bootstrap.sh` script, you can create a symlink from the
235+
`ArduinoCore-zephyr` folder to `${sketchbook}/hardware/arduino-git/zephyr`, so
236+
that the `boards.txt` file in this repository will be also available as
237+
`${sketchbook}/hardware/arduino-git/zephyr/boards.txt`.
238+
239+
Once this is done, your development folder will appear in the IDE/CLI package
240+
list as `arduino-git:zephyr`, and the Fully Qualified Board Name (FQBN) to use
241+
will be `arduino-git:zephyr:name_from_boards_txt`.

Remember to also install and/or update the officially published core in the IDE Board Manager to get the latest tools and dependencies.
