Development documentation for nrf52840 ble and segger embedded studio

[LuckyGinger]

Where can a person get decent documentation on developing for BLE on the nrf52840 using segger embedded studio?

Is it possible to create a new project without having to relink all of the libraries? 

I currently have to create a new folder within the examples folder of nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a and copy an existing project that generally has what I need and that's about where I am at.

I don't know if this is from my lack of experience or if this process is really that bad.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks

Hi!

We do have some information you can look into.

We have a youtube tutorial series;
Getting started with SEGGER Embedded Studio and the nRF5 SDK.
These tutorials cover the basics of SEGGER Embedded Studio (SES), with our SDK. Adding the license, different build configurations, debugging etc.

We also have a tutorial section here on devzone:
Devzone - Tutorials
Some of the tutorials is based on some of our older SDK's but the approach might be the same, and some of the information is worth reading.

There is also alot of useful blog-posts here on devzone - many of them posted by the engineers here at Nordic:
Devzone - Blog
Here you can find projects by others in the community, educational blog-posts from engineers here at Nordic etc.

The infocenter:
Infocenter
The all-knowing infocenter have information about our devices, product specifications, SDK's, SDK release notes, API's, Softdevices, Compability matrixes etc.

Devzone
There are several thousand Q&A's here on devzone. So a quick search could help solve any issues that you might face.

As for your question;
Starting a new project from scratch would require a lot of unecessary work, as we do provide many working examples in our SDK.
The easiest way would be, as you said, to start with an example in the SDK and modify it to fit your requirements.

If you need any more information, please let me know.

Best regards,
Joakim.

Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for your information!

I might also add the Software Development Kit documentation as that has been helpful to some degree for me.
