Solution/project configuration for family of boards

As far as I call tell, it should be possible in to have separate main.c for different projects in the same solution. If you are having trouble with the SES IDE, maybe you could ask in the Segger Emebbede studio forum ?

What happened if you press 'Yes' ?

Thanks for your response.

We are using nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560.

How can we have separate main.c for different projects in the same solution.

Hi,

If you are using nRF5-SDK, it's possible to some extent using build configurations in SES, but it's created and mainly used to differentiate debug builds from release builds. So having a sperate project per board is the best way to do it. That's how it's done in the nRF5-SDK.

If you are using nRF Connect SDK, see this guide on how to create your board files:
