How to build sample project outside of default SDK location?

[uhrm]

Hi,

We are working with nRF Connect SDK v1.5.1 and an nRF5340 device. We want to use the hci_rpmsg sample from the SDK to run in the net core, but we want to move the directory of that sample to another location outside of the SDK.

Building the sample project itself in the new directory works fine, but how can we specify in the app core project in SES that we want to build the sample project from the other directory instead of the one in the SDK (i.e. how can I specify the path to the directory to the hci_rpmsg outside the SDK)?

Thanks

Hello, 

I'm not sure I understand. Are you working with the Toolchain Manager?  Can you please provide some details on what you have done, and what you want to do?

Thanks

Kind regards,

Hi Øyvind,

Whenever we build our application for the app core in the nRF5340, it merges the result with the hex file from the hci_rpmsg sample located in the SDK directories and creates merged.hex.

What we want to do is to create a copy of the hci_rpmsg sample outside of the SDK directories, but if we do that the app core project is still using the one in the SDK. How can I tell the app core project to use the copy of the hci_rpmsg sample I have elsewhere outside the SDK?

Thanks

Hi,

Following up for any feedback on my previous reply.

Please note that our technical support staff is currently understaffed due to summer vacation, and a delayed answer must be expected.

I have not been able to get a hold of our developers. I am working on finding a solution/someone that can answer my question. 

Kind regards,
