+#### Build using `cmake`
+
+Firstly initialize your build environment by passing your board to `cmake` via `-DBOARD={board}`:
+
+```bash
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake .. -DBOARD=feather_nrf52840_express 
+```

+And then build it with:

+```bash
+make

+
+You can also use the generator of your choice. For example adding the `-GNinja` and then you can invoke `ninja build` instead of `make`.
+
+To list all supported targets, run:
+
+```bash
+cmake --build . --target help
+``` 
+
+To build individual targets, you can specify it directly with `make` or using `cmake --build`:
+
+```bash
+make bootloader
+cmake --build . --target bootloader
