Sebastian Bøe 12f8f76165 Introduce cmake-based rewrite of KBuild
Introducing CMake is an important step in a larger effort to make
Zephyr easy to use for application developers working on different
platforms with different development environment needs.

Simplified, this change retains Kconfig as-is, and replaces all
Makefiles with CMakeLists.txt. The DSL-like Make language that KBuild
offers is replaced by a set of CMake extentions. These extentions have
either provided simple one-to-one translations of KBuild features or
introduced new concepts that replace KBuild concepts.

This is a breaking change for existing test infrastructure and build
scripts that are maintained out-of-tree. But for FW itself, no porting
should be necessary.

For users that just want to continue their work with minimal
disruption the following should suffice:

Install CMake 3.8.2+

Port any out-of-tree Makefiles to CMake.

Learn the absolute minimum about the new command line interface:

$ cd samples/hello_world
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake -DBOARD=nrf52_pca10040 ..

$ cd build
$ make

BBC micro:bit display
#####################

Overview
********
A simple example that demonstrates how to use the 5x5 LED matrix display
on the BBC micro:bit board.

Building
********

This project outputs various things on the BBC micro:bit display. It can
be built as follows:

.. code-block:: console

   $ cd samples/boards/microbit/display
   $ make

Sample Output
=============

The sample app displays a countdown of the characters 9-0, iterates
through all pixels one-by-one, displays a smiley face, some animations,
and finally the text "Hello Zephyr!" by scrolling.
