Setting up Eclipse IDE for nrf52840 DK and nRF connect SDK

[Nourchene]

Hi, 

As I am using the nRF52840 DK for a project, so I followed the instructions for setting up nRF Connect SDK as it's the main SDK going forward: nRF Connect SDK and nRF5 SDK statement. However, I need to use Eclipse instead of VS code, as the latter does not follow all security and confidentiality requirements set up by my organisation. Some research led me to these posts: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nordic-blog/b/blog/posts/development-with-eclipse-and-gcc , https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/30615/how-to-configure-eclipse-to-development-nrfr52840 

However these questions concern the previous SDK and have been posted years ago.

Is there any way to import an example from nRF Connect SDK which integrates the Zephyr RTOS, and compile it successfully in eclipse ? 

Development setup:

- nRF Connect SDK version: 2.1.0

- OS: Windows 10

- Hardware: nRF52840 DK (PCA10056) Rev. 1.0.0

Thanks !

Hi,

We do not have any guides nor experience with using the nRF Connect SDK via Eclipse. I am sure it is possible but I am afraid you will be on your own in doing so. Eclipse is less and less used these days, but perhaps someone in the community will be able to suggest something?

PS: May I ask for a bit more details about your reasoning for now allowing VS Code? What makes Eclipse more acceptable to your organisation than VS Code?
