How to edit an nrf5 SDK 11 GCC example in Eclipse

[Antonio]

Hi

Although I followed and got working eclipse Mars on win10 using this great @Vidar tutorial I am still having problem creating a new project under eclipse for any of the other examples, including the template to create our own.

Is there a way to create a new project under eclipse in which we can import or follow a step by step guide for any of the SDK examples?

I am using SDK 11 and SD 132, on the 10040 dev board and our own custom board.

Thanks!

Hi,

I tried to cover this in the "Create a new Eclipse project" section in the tutorial. Please let me know if any of the instructions given there are unclear.

Hi Antonio, maybe it's not clear from the description but this explains how you can create a project from scratch with an existing makefile. This is the approach I used when I made the ble_app_hrs and blinky projects that I included in the tutorial.

So this assumes that you already have the makefile for your project (true for any SDK example). You can for instance start with a project in the \nRF5_SDK_11.0.0\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_template\pca10040\s132\armgcc directory and use that as a starting point for a new project.
