Thanks for helping out / clarifying, for now I'm happy to have a point to start 🙂

It is definitely possible to not use Zephyr(for example using another RTOS), though as of now Nordic only provides support for Zephyr through NCS. I tried to look up some more information/examples on it here on DevZone, but couldn't find anything...

This also relates to the project set up. My guess is that SES as of now has more extensive support for the nRF52 and can produce the project files through a wizard, while NCS(which is based on CMake) requires the necessary prerequisites so that relevant files can be imported and the project constructed.

Don't know if this makes sense, but I hope it helps!

Thanks! That works like a charm, but isn't it still strange that I can't do it like I can with the nRF52832 in case I don't want to use Zephyr?

Hello!

Did you follow the instructions for making a project from scratch in chapter 2 of the NCS tutorial? It seems like you've only created a project in SES without setting up the proper prerequisites in form of CMakeLists and so on.

Try that and see how it turns out!

All the best

I ran some additional tests, I also have a nRF52 dev board (NRF52832) and with that programming seems to go just fine in SES when creating a new project like described above. (Of course I select the NRF52832 as target processor while generating in that case).
