Inquiries regarding board firmware development.

[ozoz05]

Hello.
I have a question about the development environment when developing using nrf.

When you build a new board and make firmware without using dk or ek, do you usually start with "Create a new board"? Or, do you bring up the sample example and set the target board to dk board, and from there, modify only the pin to develop it as it is??

Hi,

Usually, you first create a new board and then create an application either new or copy sample then modifying the application according to your board.

If you are new then you can also copy a sample then compile it for a DK then from dts you can copy nodes into your board and modify them according to your schematic. You can either way you prefer or feel easy with.

Hi. 

I would in general start by finding one the examples on our SDK that is close to what you are doing and then expand that sample running on a DK. When your application is mature enough to run on a custom board I would then create a custom board in the SDK build the application for this board. 

I would also start by going through devacademy(at least the fundamentals course) if you are not familiar with our SDK
