Hi Yu, 
 Please follow this link if you want to modify/add file to your project: https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/nrf/gs_modifying.html 
 You should use "Add new file to CMakelists.txt" or "Add existing file to CMakelists.txt" otherwise it wouldn't build properly. 
 Note that this option is only available in the sample inside nrf folder, not the zephyr's default samples. It's explained here . 
 I tried that option here but got python error, so I would suggest to just edit the CMakelists.txt file to add your own file, the same as the main.c file. 
 Regarding the 2 .emProject, the one you should use is the periodic_adv.emProject. Anyway, I would suggest to use Visual Studio Code IDE instead of Segger Embedded Studio. In my opinion it's easy to use and more stable.
