+= Getting started
+
+So you want to try Embassy, great! To get started, there are a few tools you need to install:
+
+* link:https://rustup.rs/[rustup] - the Rust toolchain is needed to compile Rust code.
+* link:https://crates.io/crates/probe-run[probe-run] - to flash the firmware on your device. If you already have other tools like `OpenOCD` setup, you can use that as well.
+
+If you don't have any supported board, don't worry: you can also run embassy on your PC using the `std` examples.
+
+== Getting a board with examples
+
+Embassy supports many microcontroller families, but the easiest ways to get started is if you have one of the more common development kits.
+
+=== nRF kits

+
+== Running an example
+
+First you need to clone the [github repository];
+
+[source, bash]
+----
+git clone https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy.git
+cd embassy
+----
+
+You can run an example by opening a terminal and entering the following commands:
+
+[source, bash]
+----
+cd examples/nrf
+DEFMT_LOG=info cargo run --bin blinky --release
+----
+
+IMPORTANT: The DEFMT_LOG environment variable controls the example log verbosity. If you do not specify it, you will not see anything logged to the console.
+
+== Whats next?
+
+Congratulations, you have your first Embassy application running! Here are some alternatives on where to go from here:
