Copying an existing Nrf Connect SDK project and then opening it using Segger Studio

[sshenoy105]

NCS 1.4.0 
SES 5.10D
Board nrf5340pdk 
Windows 10 Pro 64bit

I am trying to use a verified and working project as a base and make changes (as opposed to making changes to the original sample project)..Something we could routinely do with 52 series projects and SDK.. here's an example 

1. Build and run \v1.4.0\zephyr\samples\hello_world  and verify it works (it does). Close SES.

2. Make a copy of the hello world project and now you have another directory \v1.4.0\zephyr\samples\hello_world2

3. Open SES again and try to open a Nrf Connect SDK project.. I was hoping to see a second hello world project but I don't.

How do I get this done ? is that even possible (I hope it is as per this link)

and another question is, How do I create a new Nrf Connect project that can be opened by SES ? I saw a working sample of SPIM for Nrf5340 (downloaded it) and I am hoping to use it .. But I am unable to open that project via SES.. How do I get there ?

Hi,

Yes, it's possible. I would recommend taking a look at the tutorial posted in the case you linked. Part 1, which can be found here, covers how to set up your own sample, which can also be placed outside the nrf folder.

Best regards,

Marte

I had looked at the documents before posting here.. In any case, this ticket can be closed..

For anyone searching, the new project may not show up in the pull down menu but you can open it by clicking on ... next to the pull down menu and then select the new project folder.. That worked for me
