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.

    Thank you. I have tried this and it did not work. VSCODE ignored the out-of-tree settings. I will look again.

    I was hoping there would be a hidden setting for this. SES has no issue.

    I also have not been able to get the JLINK listing my custom boards for debugging, but I will spend more time on this and let you have feedback.

    This is a great product and will make life a lot simpler.

    Even if you hit the "refresh" button?

    Is the debugger recognized by nrfjprog? Can you post the output of "nrfjprog --ids"?

    My apologies, it seems that my local test setup fooled me. You are 100 % correct, it does not pick up the BOARD_ROOT defined in CMakeLists.txt. Clear bug from our side! Will report this internally.

    I'm really glad to hear that you like it, and also want to thank you for taking the time to report short-comings back to us, so that we can improve our delivery!

     

    Kind regards,

    Hi - There is another issue that is quite serious.It is not possible to create a new project unless one first uses SES to create the project and then only if it falls within the directory tree of the SDK can one clone it using create new application from sample. Then, only if the board is in the SDK tree can one configure the application.

    This means that each time one has to update the SDK, then one would have to first back up own projects as they may get overwritten.

    As it is now, I believe that the tool, although great is only useful for experimenting with SDK samples using boards supported by the SDK.

    I would give more feedback if it was possible to actually run one of my projects.

    This does not sound good!

    Can you elaborate on the steps that you performed and what was overwritten at this stage?
