New nRF Project Creation using nRF Connect SDK

[mexco]

I am new to Nordic. I installed nRF Desptop Connector. I have opened succesfully the sample nRF projects. Now, I want create my own new nRF Connect Project. I tried two ways:

1. First created a new folder named "First" in "C:\nrc\v1.7.1". I tried to create a new project using nRF Connect Options in this folder. But there is option to open either existing nRF project only. see first image ... 

2. I creted a new project in SES without nRF Connect SDK in the above folder. The default "Hello World" code builds successfully.see images 2 and 3. But, I want to know how to open/ convert this new project as nRF Project, see image 4.

Respected Hellesvik.. thanks for your reply. We are to work using SES only and can not switch to VS. Secondly, you suggested to copy the example. Which files and folders should be copied from sample to new project ? May you send screen shots or any video link ? My another relevent query is : May the new project be created in another Drive and/or folder than ....nrc/v1.7.1 ?

Hi

That is fine, we still support Segger Embedded Studio.

Your project may be in any folder.

Steps to copy project:

1. Find similar project. Let us use hello world for this example, as it is an easy sample.

Then copy the whole folder:

And rename it:

Let us move the folder to another place, to showcase this. I put it in Documents/tmp:

Now in Segger Embedded Studio:

Chose the new folder:

And the finished options for opening the project should look something like this:

Disregard my "nRF Connect SDK Release" and "nRF Connect Toolchain Version". These are different due to me using Linux.

Does this explain what you want to know?
