Define BOARD_CUSTOM not working in SDK12 with GCC

[Chris H.]

I can't seem to add custom pin definitions to my own board in SDK12. I use the BOARD_CUSTOM define and copied my PCA10040 header file to one call custom_board.h and my pin assignments do not change. The only warnings I get are from bad paths to the config folder which is new since moving to SDK12.

Look in examples\bsp\boards.h line 45

#elif defined(BOARD_CUSTOM)
  #include "custom_board.h"
#else

Defining BOARD_CUSTOM in the makefile causes custom_board.h to be included

Note

-DBOARD_PCA10040

occurs in 2 places in the makefile, once for C files and once for assembler files

I quick way of checking if custom_board.h is being included is just to put

#error Board is included

into that header

If the file is being included your compile will stop at that point

(Or you could use #warning.. I often just write something like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA into a file, and that fails compilation as well ;-)

Thanks! This greatly helped me!
