Separate location of own bootloader and application from SDK

[MarieMaurer]

Hello,

we are using a NRF52832 together with the delivered SDK.

There are plenty of example, which is good and helps a lot!

Now we want to build our own app and our own bootloader.

I am fighting with settings and configs, because e.g. I want to use nrf52832, but don't want to use given eval board, but own hardware (custom board).

Now e.g. when I want to clone bootloader, or even some of the examples, I can compile them, when located in similar place like the original examples,

but not when I move them out.

Also e.g. board.*, spi.*, ... makes me problems, because I seem to use the functionality to control LEDs and buttons,

but I have different amount/setting or even none of them.

Is there a documentation or known good way how to deal with these type of problems?

Best regards,

Marie

Hello Marie,

A good place to start is to create a board file for your custom board, please take a look at the "Using the SDK with other boards" section of the SDK documentation to get started on that. Also remember to change the default 32KHz crystal clock source if you don't have the optional 32Khz crystal mounted on your board.

Best regards,

Vidar
