Yes, it will become a bit more like an editor when you set it up as a Makefile project because you have to manage build configurations by editing the Makefile directly.

If I understand correctly you're saying that eclipse will be just a plain editor and everything will be managed through the makefile.

Hello,

Our nRF5 SDK does not include project files for Eclipse, which means you have to add the source files from the Makefile manually. I would instead recommend you to use Segger embedded Studio (product page). It's free to use and it also has cross-platform support.

Also I was looking for a generic linker script into the SDK and found the nrf52832_xxaa.ld which includes the nrf_common.ld

Do I have to add both of them in eclipse?

Eclipse will not use the linker script when you set up Makefile project. The linker script will be invoked by the Makefile.
