To get started with your Sonata board, there are three steps you'll need to do. First, head to
the [Sonata System Release Page](https://github.com/lowRISC/sonata-system/releases/) where you'll find the latest releases.

0. [Program the RP2040 With the Latest](rp2040-update.md) firmware to get any bug fixes by entering bootloader mode & dragging the `rpi_rp2_v0.XX.uf2`.
1. [Get the latest FPGA image](fpga-update.md) that corresponds with the software you are building. This requires you to just drag the new `.bit` file onto the SONATA drive that comes up when you plug in the board to your computer.
2. [Install the software toolchain](toolchain-setup.md).
3. [Build the example code](building-examples.md) and download to the soft-core you loaded in step 1.

# Reloading the RP2040 USB Controller

Before plugging in your Sonata board, hold down the SW9 labelled "RP2040 Boot", and while holding this button plug your board into your laptop using the Main USB.

A drive called RPI-RP2 should pop up on your computer and drag `rpi_rp2_v0.X.uf2` into it.
This drive should automatically dismount once the file is transferred and remount as SONATA.

## Downloading the `rpi_rp2_v.X.uf2` file

Currently the RP2040 firmware is available from the [Sonata Systems](https://github.com/lowRISC/sonata-system/releases) releases, which ensures your RP2040 firmware matches the Sonata FPGA and firmware expectations.

The source & latest release for the RP2040 are also found on the [Sonata RP2040 repo](https://github.com/newaetech/sonata-rp2040/releases).
