-Disco demo
-##########
-
-Overview
-********
-
-A simple 'disco' demo. The demo assumes that 2 LEDs are connected to
-GPIO outputs of the MCU/board.
-
-
-Wiring
-******
-
-This sample should work on board with multiple built-in LEDs without any
-changes, otherwise, the code may need some changes before running on various
-board: set PORT, LED0 and LED1 according to the board's GPIO configuration.
-
-Building and Running
-*********************
-
-After startup, the program looks up a predefined GPIO device defined by 'PORT',
-and configures pins 'LED0' and 'LED1' in output mode.  During each iteration of
-the main loop, the state of GPIO lines will be changed so that one of the lines
-is in high state, while the other is in low, thus switching the LEDs on and off
-in an alternating pattern.
-
-This project does not output to the serial console, but instead causes two LEDs
-connected to the GPIO device to blink in an alternating pattern.
-
-The sample can be found here: :zephyr_file:`samples/basic/disco`.
