 +===== Caveats =====
 +  * Please note, that the above changes just mean that you have replaced the bootloader and the softdevice with  an ANT+ capable one. //​Developing ANT+ application needs additional software, which you need to develop yourself, or obtain and adapt from thisisant.org,​ for example//
 +  * All the regular Arduino sketches and all the Bluefruit52 SW is supposed to run as-is with the modified bootloader
 +  * **NOTE** that CircuitPython compatibility will be lost with this modification. The CircuitPython interpreter is distributed as UF2 binary firmware-update and that is bundled with the S140 BLE softdevice. Trying to "​update"​ an S340 equipped nRF52804 Feather with the CircuitPython interpreter formware will most likely "​brick"​ your Feather and you will need a Segger J-Link firmware-updater to "​unbrick"​ your Feather
