Migration from SES to Visual Studio unable to select custom board directory

[OwainIncus]

Hi,

I am in the process of migration from SES to Visual Studio; I have imported my project; but it has no active build configuration.
When I try and add a build configuration VS only presents me with boards it knows about and not my custom board.

How can I tell visual studio where to search for my board files.

SES let one browse for the boar directory.

Regards,

Owain

Moving my board directory under the project has allowed m to select custom board ok.

Hi,

I am glad to hear that you found a solution.

As you mention, you can also add board root paths in the extension settings. This is the same as the BOARD_ROOT variable in Zephyr, and therefore the extension expects that your board folders are organized as follows: <board_root>/boards/arm/<board_folder>. So if the path to your board folder is for example C:/ncs/boards/arm/my_custom_board, then you will need to give C:/ncs as path in the board roots setting.

Best regards,

Marte
