how to modify a custom board after creation

[PingISTL]

Hello, Support

I am new to Nordic and try to follow the tutorial video here https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Connect-for-VS-Code/Tutorials

Just created a board and build, but later I need to add a few things to my board - like LED or a button. is there a way I modify the board already created and rebuild? or do I have to create a new one? 

I am using VS and SDK version of v1.9.0.

Regards!

Hi, Priyanka

Thanks for reply! I will try to read link you sent.

I generated board use VS IDE by modifying the customBoard.dts file before the build is added , is there an easy way to do it in VS? I am currently doing it by delete the build and also the board and then re-create from scratch, is there a better way to do it? 

Regards!

Hi,

you can create an overlay file for this "<board_name>.overlay" and changes in here will be implemented when you build again. You don't have to delete the build, and board and re-create from scratch. Details regarding this might be found in the Tutorial series.
