+# Board Test
+
+A minimal bring-up test that exercises a board's basic I/O without using the USB stack. Both the device and host stacks are disabled (`CFG_TUD_ENABLED`/`CFG_TUH_ENABLED` are `0`), so this is the first thing to run when porting to new hardware.
+
+## What it does
+
+- Blinks the on-board LED. The interval changes with the button: 1000 ms when the button is not pressed, 250 ms while it is held.
+- Prints `Hello from TinyUSB` over `stdout`/UART on each blink.
+- Echoes any character received on UART back out.
+
+(No USB class interfaces are present — this example does not enumerate as a USB device.)
+
+## Configuration
+
+Notable `tusb_config.h` settings:
+
+```c
+#define CFG_TUD_ENABLED   0   // device stack disabled
+#define CFG_TUH_ENABLED   0   // host stack disabled
+```
+
+## Building
+
+CMake:
+
+```bash
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake -DBOARD=raspberry_pi_pico ..
+cmake --build .
+```
+
+Make:
+
+```bash
+make BOARD=raspberry_pi_pico all
+```
+
+## Try it
+
+Flash the firmware and watch the on-board LED blink. Open the board's UART (serial console) to see `Hello from TinyUSB` printed repeatedly, and type characters to see them echoed back. Press and hold the button to speed up the blink rate.
