How to import gcc-arm project to segger studio

[asantos]

Hi,

I am evaluating the Firmware on this github repo  and my nrf52832. 

At the moment I am compiling it using my makefile, however I would like to import this project to Segger Embedded Studio, in order to be able to use the debugger.

Could you give some advice on how  to do this?

Thanks!

Have you searched the SES documentation and the Segger forum to see if they have anything to import from a makefile?

Otherwise, you are just going to have to go through all your makefile settings, and apply them via the IDE.

The SES Project file is, basically, just an XML file - so you might be able to take a similar approach as described here: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/42082/nordic-nrf5-sdk-15-2-0-example-include-files-in-eclipse/163538#163538

Thanks for that!
I have tried adding files, include paths and macros manually to my project, however I still get some build issues, and cannot work out how to fix them. I attach output:

Hi 

Could you zip the repo with the changes you made?

Then I can take a look at it and see if I can make it work. 

Not making any promises, but it's worth a try ;)

Thank you,

I'll appreciate it very much if you can do anything.

Hi

I meant if you can zip the repo and the changes you made to make it work. 

It is limited how much time I can spend trying to make a non-Nordic code repo work with SES, but if you have done parts of the work already then I can give it a go

Best regards
Torbjørn
