nrf Connect for VS Code and SoftDevice

[Martin Muhady]

Hi,

for a last year I was developing any apps for nrf52840 in Keil IDE. Now I'd like to migrate my projects to VSCode but still do not understand some curcumstancies:

1. I used to use sdk_config.h but when I create project in VSCode there is nothing like it. Where can I configure hundreds of configuration parameters?

2. When I flash any BLE sample into nrf52840 from VSCode and I check it in Programmer (app in nrf connect for desktop) there is nothing like SoftDevice. How can I specify what SoftDevice to use?

Thank you so much.

Hi Martin,

The nRF Connect SDK is quite different from nRF5SDK. There is no separate "SoftDevice" for the nRF Connect. nRF Connect SDK is based on the Zephyr RTOS and you could go through the Tutorial Series here. This will help you understand the way a project flows in the nRF Connect SDK. 

The programmer app is mainly used to flash the .hex files of projects that you build, onto the board. You should also go through the Programmer Guide.

Regards,

Priyanka
