Using VScode with my own projects and boards

[fgeldenh]

I have a number of custom projects and boards that were created using SES.

How do I get nRF Connect to see my projects and boars. I have a separate directly structure where all my projects and custom boards reside.

Hello,

 

As I see it, you want a new option, to browse directly to your own board folder? This is good feedback to us!

 

In its current form, there's two options for a custom board to pop up in the list:

1. Copy the board into ncs/zephyr/boards/arm directory and reload VSCode (regenerate the project)

2. Use out-of-tree board definitions in your CMakeLists.txt file, as shown here:

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/blob/v2.6.99-ncs1/samples/application_development/out_of_tree_board/CMakeLists.txt#L6-L11

 

Please let me know if you still run into any issues.

 

Cheers,

Håkon
