Best way to start new project on nRF toolchain manager

[Bwalker]

I'm new to the nRF connect sdk (but have used the previous sdk in the past), and am wondering what the best way to start a new project is? With the old sdk, it was easiest to just copy a sample project and use that, but I'm wondering if there is a better way now with zephyr etc?

Hi!

We still recommend copying a sample application that most closely resembles the application you want to write.

If you want to start completely from scratch, you can create the application directory <app> and src directory <app>/src and place the main.c file in src. Then create prj.conf and CMakeLists.txt in <app>. 

CMakeLists.txt should contain

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13.1)

find_package(Zephyr REQUIRED HINTS $ENV{ZEPHYR_BASE})
project(hello_world)
target_sources(app PRIVATE src/main.c)

 

Best regards,

Heidi
