I am trying to wrap my head around this whole Zephyr thing. "Highly configurable" usually goes hand in hand with "not very friendly to newbies" and I am 200% overwhelmed.
Toolchain was installed, I can build and flash projects from the `samples` folder (tried peripheral_lbs for now, works fine).
However, I now want to create a custom project. And I cant. I just don't get get it. Im so frustrated. All "getting started" guides everywhere say "ye just run this example project - the end".
What I tried:
- Copy an example project to some folder.
- Try yo build it with west -> no success, cause no west repo.
- west init, west update -> inflates project folders to 2.5 GB cause it downloads all of zephyr again. I already have zephyr downloaded somewhere else.
- build does not work cause it cannot find the toolchain.
How do I tell west to find zephyr and toolchain at specific locations?
How do the sample projects know where to find all the necessary dependencies? Because they are in a subfolder?
