2. Install Ameba board in "Board Manager"

   Open "Tools" -> "Board" -> "Board Manager", wait for it to update additional hardware configurations, then type "ameba" in the search bar, you will see Realtek Ameba in the list.

   Press "Install" to start the installation.

   
   

3. Select your Ameba model in "Tools" -> "Board" -> "AmebaPro2 ARM (32-bits) Boards"
