# Get started with MCXN947

The FRDM-MCXN947 board comes pre-programmed with an LED blinky demo. This built-in example serves as a quick sanity check to confirm that the board is functioning correctly right out of the box.

**Let’s walk through the setup process step by step.**

#### Plug in the board

Connect a USB Type-C cable from connector J17 on the FRDM-MCXN947 board to your host computer or a USB power supply. This will power up the board and automatically run the pre-programmed demo application.

**What to expect:**

The onboard RGB LED should start blinking at a steady rhythm. This indicates that the board is functioning correctly and the demo firmware is running as expected.
