nrf52-project-template

This template uses submodules! You'll need a recursive clone.

Template to start a new nrf52 project with the AWS IoT SDK. It is intended to be used in Visual Studio Code with at least this extensions:

• C/C++
• C++ Intellisense
• Cortex Debug

It is also recommended to install Tasks in order to have more convenient access to the configured tasks.

Configuration

Env vars

You need to set some env vars:

• GNU_GCC_ARM
• GNU_GCC_ARM_LIBS
• nRF_SDK

I'm using the .bashrc to make sure that the vars are always set when I launch Visual Studio. There is an example of my values in .vscode/sdk_routes_config.sh.example.

Folders

• /boards: Makefile, .ld file and sdk_config.h file for the possible targets (only nrf52//PCA10056 for now).
• /build: Intended for build output.
• /project: Your code goes here.
• /secrets: To store passwords and certificates (git will ignore it).

ToDo

Add support for Mac and Windows

At least two files would need to be updated to fully support Windows and Mac:

• .vscode/settings.json: The correspondent shell args line would need to be added, possibly a new script too.
• .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json: The correspondent configurations need to be completed.

Add support for different target boards

Currently, only the nrf52 is supported through the PCA10056 board. New environmental variables would be needed to adapt the commands in .vscode/tasks.json and .vscode/launch.json.
