Hello everyone,

Relative newbie here. I have built a gbz before with helders aio however now I am building another with the circuit sword cm3. I have just received my CS from Kite and I am about to start my build. After reading the set up guide on the wiki I am left wondering how if possible to do the initial setup and testing of the board on mac? My experience with the software side of these builds is limited and I am not 100 percent sure on what notepad++ is but I know they dont have it for mac. Any suggestions on how I can do this without a PC? Any help or insight is appreciated. Thank you

I use a Mac daily and used mine to put my CS together.

For burning the SD card, use Etcher: https://www.balena.io/etcher/

For editing files, TextEdit (Included on MacOS) is generally fine - however you could also use Sublime https://www.sublimetext.com (Free) which is geared a little more towards code than text editing.
