Alright, maybe I have to set it up again from scratch. Thank you very much for your help and effort.

Hi,

I am not able to reproduce this. When I build your project the custom_board.h file is included. However, there are errors due to key things missing in the custom_board.h file, but that is a different matter (and expected given the code and content of the file):

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../nRF5_5F00_SDK_5F00_17.1.0_5F00_ddde560.zip

This is the stripped down SDK, the nRF5_SDK...-folder in the paths from above

That is really odd. Can you upload the stripped down SDK you are using here so I can take a look?

[quote userid="7377" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/82010/custom_board-h-not-found/340288#340288"]You write you changed the preprocessor definition, so I assume that means you removed BOARD_PCA10056 and used BOARD_CUSTOM instead, as shown below?[/quote]

Yes, exactly like that.

The paths are:
git_repo\nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart_test\pca10056\s113\ses (project file)
git_repo\nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560\components\boards (custom_board.h)

I placed a stripped down version of the SDK (deleted all unnecessary examples) in a private Git repo, which I have only once on my machine.
I also:
- copy pasted the file name from inside the boards.h file and renamed the custom_board.h file with it.
- right-clicked the boards.h file and opened it in the file explorer. I ended up in the same folder that also contains the pca10056.h and custom_board.h
- renamed the pca10056.h file to verify that it is indeed the right folder. After renaming it the same "file not found" error occurs as expected, which means that it should be the right folder

Hi,

You write you changed the preprocessor definition, so I assume that means you removed BOARD_PCA10056 and used BOARD_CUSTOM instead, as shown below?

There must be a sensible explanation for this, for instance a typo in the file name or that it is located in the wrong directory etc (perhaps you have downloaded the SDK several times or have several versions, and do changes in different ones?). To narrow down, can you copy-paste the full path of both the project file and the custom_board.h file, so that we see that they are correctly located with respect to one another?
