Separate app_core and net_core projects for nRF5340

[robertfirma]

For testing I was use "Socket Echo Server" demo app. Where I was use Thread and BLE together and also child image "Multiprotocol_RPMSG" was build.

Now I would like to build and debug two separate apps with nRF Connect 2.0 and VS Code as IDE. One on app_core and second on net_core.

For example on app_core I will use "Socket Echo Server" based app without child image. And on net_core I will use "Multiprotocol_RPMSG" based app.

Is it possible to have two separate project for nRF5340?

Could this two project be debug(RTT Loger) simultanius on VS Code?

Is there any documentation how to create two sepatare project. One for app_core and second for net_core.

Reason why I need separete net_core project is that I want to add additional functionality to "Multiprotocol_RPMSG" app.

Best regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

The net core image is built automatically for  BT projects, but you can prevent that by adding CONFIG_NCS_INCLUDE_RPMSG_CHILD_IMAGE=n in the application's prj.conf. With that the net core image is not build during application build.

It is possible to use two separate debug sessions at the same time (see Debugging an application), one for the app core and one for the net core. I have never tested using separate tools for that, but in principle I think it should be possible.
