Merging ble_app_uart and ble_app_uart_c into one code

[Avi]

Can you show how can I merge the ble_app_uart and ble_app_uart_c into one code?

Once the device wakes up, it will check its GPIO - if it is '0', the peripheral will start and if is '1', the central will start

I thought about making a main file that will handle the GPIO selection and call either the peripheral or the central functions which will be placed on different files.

In general, I think it is quite difficult to build a new design which is not based on any of the examples, since we need to include various libraries and various include files

I would appreciate if you can also follow up with some guidelines how you build such example

Thanks

Avi

that seems a reasonable approach ...

I don't know how to handle the libraries and header files

The only part that's a bit "special" to the nRF5 SDK is getting the settings in the sdk_config.h right - apart from that, it's all just standard 'C' source code (and the sdk_config.h is really just a load of standard #defines)

On viewing & editing the options in sdk_config.h:

I would like to add to Awneil's answer. 

You can use VSCode's code compare feature to see the differences in two sdk_config.h files just like you see in version control software. It is really helpful and makes synchronization of config files very easy.

Ah - if only!

Sadly, the options in the various sdk_config.h files in the SDK do not have all the options in a consistent order - so a simple file compare seldom helps.
