I can run west build command successfully with the following directories combination.
D:\ncs\v2.4.0\nrf\samples\bluetooth\peripheral_uart
D:\ncs\v2.4.0\nrf\boards\arm\custom_nrf5340
But west build failed with the following directories combination. Does west build command support building outside of ncs directory?
D:\custom\peripheral_uart
D:\custom\boards\custom_nrf5340
The following are log messages of west build.
D:\custom\peripheral_uart>west build -b custom_nrf5340_cpuapp
