I understand that's what you want, but not why you want it. I don't see any technical need that cannot be satisfied with the current setup.

If I know your blocking points, perhaps I can suggest an easier alternative, or feedback to our teams of a use case.

Nonetheless, I tried making these change to the ncs-example-application in addition to moving "dts," "drivers," and "lib." It works.

Hi Andy,

Are you using the NCS Example Application, or is it just a naming coincidence?

I see that your attached project does have a west.yml file, so it seems you indeed are using the example application.

In such a case, notice how in the example, there are directories named "drivers," "lib," and "dts" on the same level as the "app" directory.

This is the intended design. Is there any reason why you need those directories inside the "app" directory?
