Great! Now we have the Board FQBN (Fully Qualified Board Name) `arduino:samd:mkr1000`
and the Board Name look good, we are ready to compile and upload the sketch

#### Adding 3rd party cores
To add 3rd party core packages add a link of the additional package to the file `.cli-config.yml`

If you want to add the ESP8266 core, for example:

board_manager:
additional_urls:
- http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
And then run:

arduino-cli core update-index
arduino-cli core install esp8266:esp8266
