How to build project outside of the SDK folder?

Thanks

I'll put my custom_board.h file in the config folder as this will mean I can isolate all project specific code from the SDK.

I think it's totally fine to put your config file in the config folder.

Sorry.I should have said, I'm using GCC with SDK 12.1

After reading your answer,and looking at SDK 12.2, I see in 12.2 that the bsp has effectively been moved to components/boards; which is better than in SDK 12.1

But the templates and examples seem to use boards.c and which includes boards.h, which includes the board as defined in the Makefile -DBOARD_XXX

As I'm using a custom board I've defined BOARD_CUSTOM and have custom_board.h but I'd rather not put this in the SDK tree, as its hard to keep under source control (git)

I tried putting custom_board.h in the root of my project, but that path is not included by the Makefile. (I could add it, but I don't think think thats the best option)

So the next logical place for custom_board.h appears to be in the config folder; and placing board_custom.h there, seems to compile.

Where would you recommend putting board_custom.h ?

Hi Roger, Which compiler are you using ?

If you are using KEIL, you may need to use absolute path for the SDK files. You can replace all path with ".." for example "............\components" to the absolute path. They are in .uvprojx file.

If you are using gcc, you can simply modify the SDK_ROOT in the makefile file.
