# Uploading programs to your @boardname@
|
|
|
|
Most of the time you'll be writing and testing your programs in the [simulator](/device/simulator). Once you've finished your program though, you can **compile** it and run it on your @boardname@. Transferring your program to the @boardname@ is as simple as saving a file to a drive on your computer.
|
|
|
|
When you plug your @boardname@ into USB, a new drive is created with the **@drivename@** label. This is where you'll save your program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The basic steps are:
|
|
|
|
1. Connect your @boardname@ to your computer with a USB cable.
|
|
2. Click **Download** to download the `.hex` file.
|
|
3. Move the `.hex` file from your computer onto the **@drivename@** drive. The next section has instructions for the browser that you're using.
|
|
|
|
