+Renesas DA14531 Pmod Board
+##########################
+
+Overview
+********
+
+The Renesas US159 DA14531EVZ carries a `DA14531MOD`_ Bluetooth LE module
+in a `Digilent Pmod`_ |trade| form factor.

+
+Requirements
+************
+
+This shield can only be used with a board that provides a Pmod |trade|
+socket and defines the ``pmod_serial`` node label (see :ref:`shields` for
+more details).
+
+The DA14531 Module contained on the shield must be programmed with a binary
+file that supports the HCI interface over UART, with hardware flow control
+enabled.
+
+The `Renesas SmartBond Flash Programmer`_ tool can be used to download a
+suitable binary and then program it into the DA14531 via the SWD header
+present on the Pmod board. Once the tool has been installed, open it and
+press the "Search Online" button. The required binary file can be selected
+for download as follows:

+
+   Selecting the DA14531 HCI Binary File for Download
+
+Press the "Program" button to program the binary file into the DA14531 Module.
+
+For more information about interfacing to the DA14531 and the US159 DA14531EVZ
+Pmod, see the following documentation:

+Programming
+***********
+
+Set ``--shield renesas_us159_da14531evz`` when you invoke ``west build``. For
+example:
+
+.. zephyr-app-commands::
+   :zephyr-app: samples/bluetooth/beacon
+   :board: ek_ra8m1
+   :shield: renesas_us159_da14531evz
+   :goals: build
