### Ambiq SVL upload method

8+
### MCU into bootloader without needing any buttons to be pressed on the board!

10+
# AMBIQ_SVL_SERIAL_PORT - Serial port to connect to the SVL bootloader over, e.g. 'COM20' or '/dev/ttyACM0'
11+
# This method creates the following parameters:
12+
# AMBIQ_SVL_UPLOAD_BAUD - Baudrate to upload at. Defaults to 115200 baud.

# SVL for Ambiq Apollo3
2+
3+
This folder contains the script to flash Ambiq Apollo3 MCUs using the SparkFun Variable Loader (SVL) UART bootloader. This script appears to be under the MIT license, and was copied from its development repository here:
4+
5+
https://github.com/sparkfun/Apollo3_Uploader_SVL/blob/main/svl.py
6+
7+
Slight modifications were made to add an entry point function compatible with Hatchling.
