SEGGER Embedded Studio Nordic Edition for NCS doesn't update .config for modified prj.conf

[Sam Lin]

Hi All,

When working on NCS with SEGGER Embedded Studio Nordic Edition (v5.20b), modify prj.conf will not reflect on rebuild solution.

It seems the IDE doesn't update .config with updated prj.conf

BR,

Sam

Hi Sam,

You're correct in that SES doesn't notice when changes have been made in prj.conf. There are however some workarounds to this:

1. You can reload the project by either opening it again with File -> Open nRF Connect SDK Project, or by going to Project -> Reload <project_name>.
2. You can re-run CMake by going to Project -> Run CMake (You must have SES v5.10 or newer).
3. You can change the configuration by going to Project -> Configure nRF Connect SDK Project -> menuconfig, and make the changes there instead of prj.conf. These changes will not be applied to prj.conf, so if you reload the project in some way later, the changes won't stay and you'll have to change it in menuconfig again. Changes done in prj.conf will be applied in menuconfig however.

Best regards,

Marte
