If there's no Mynewt app running, or the Mynewt app doesn't have the Shell and Console
enabled, you won't see anything there, but you can always refer back to this page
from later tutorials if you need to.

Now that you know how to communicate with your mynewt application, let's move on to
creating one!

### Establish serial connection
-You will now look for some BLE related stats over a serial connection and see the radio is actually working. The picture below shows a serial connector set up. Pin PA.08 is RX and pin PA.06 is TX. Make sure TX from the NRF52 goes to RX on your Serial board, and that RX on the NRF52 goes to TX on your Serial Board.
