SDK Connect and Visual Code

[abe]

Hi, I have an old project that works with NRF9160-DK, but it uses SDK Connect 1.2.0
Now I have new suite:
Visual Studio Code 1.83.1
Manage Toolchain 2.4.2
Manage SDK 2.4.2
The project fails on build with several error.
Have any suggest to handle my old project?

Thank you

Abele

Hi,

nRF Connect SDK v1.2.0 is very outdated at this point. The SDK has changed a lot since this was released, and I wouldn't expect a project built on that SDK to build successfully with a current updated one. Instead, I would just remake the project in the current SDK instead of trying to merge it. That is probably the easiest approach.

this is very uncomfortable ... then there is no chance for you adjust the project and make it working?
If possible for you help me, I need to save time to make this old project working ...
Or there is a way to have the old release 1.2.0?

I'm sorry for the bad news, but I truly think that this is the best approach. Several concepts such as pinctrl has been introduced since v1.2.0. It's very much a better approach and less time consuming to start with a new tag instead of trying to port your old project to a newer tag.

Hi, then for you is better make "new project" from scratch?
But another way could be to use a "sample code" (for example MQTT simple) and then import the needed functions/files?

Hi,

Yes by scratch I mean by starting with a simple relevant nRF Connect SDK example and then modify that example so that it does the same as your previous project. That would be much better than trying to port your old project to the newest SDK. 

MQTT sample can be found here,
