Problem of Including custom driver folder in to a project.

So, please guide through including a custom driver folder into any project. If any other step also there, please share.

The quick and easy way of adding a custom driver to your project:

• 2.2.1 Include header and source files to your project

The Zephyr way:

Hi Simon.

Thanks for the links.
I followed the first link and did exactly the same hello world project + including the multiply function.

Till making of the hello world project, there was no error.

Now, after including the multiply.c and multiply.h files I have this error saying "No such file or directory" for multiply.h.

Can you please tell where am I doing mistake here?

I also tried making the same procedure inside the path shown below in screenshot(For blinky example). Also did the same changes in CMakeLists.txt file as above. And found the same error.

Thank you.

If you've made changes to the CMakeLists.txt after opening the project, you need to run the CMake logic again for it to take effect, this can be done as mentioned in this answer in three ways:

• Open the project again with File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project
• Reload the project by going to Project > Reload <project_name>
• Re-run CMake by going to Project > Run Cmake

I see that many people run into the same issue in this section, so I'll add a note in the tutorial.

The link you have shared is not working. Says "Access Denied".

I have tried 3 of the points you have mentioned to re run the CMake logic. Its not resolved. I got this error on the 3rd point.

How to resolve this python dependency? I have faced this issue earlier while opening copy of any example project also.

I know about the getting started assistance where we need to follow the steps of installing all required dependencies before working with nRF connect SDK.

I got an info from This link that on windows if we install the nRF connect SDK from nRF connect Tool chain manager, all the dependencies will be installed and procedure of getting started assistance can be avoided.

So as my system is Windows machine, I did install it from Tool chain manager.

Thank you.

Sorry, I pointed you to a private ticket. But it just showed the three points I listed, not much more.

That is strange. If you install NCS from the Toolchain Manager, all the dependencies should get included automatically. Could you do the below:

1. Open Segger Embedded Studio from the Toolchain Manager (don't install it separately):

   

2.  Check if you see the file <user name>\ncs\v1.5.0\toolchain\opt\bin\python.exe
   • Open cmd in <user name>\ncs\v1.5.0\toolchain\opt\bin and run

 Is this error consistent? If not, could you explain step-by-step how to reproduce it?

What happened when you did the following:

• "Open the project again with File > Open nRF Connect SDK Project"
