Starting a new nRF52 project in SES with selected peripherals

SilasValera

HI
I am new to using Segger Embedded Studio on Windows10. I am a bit at loss for creating a new nrf52811 BLE project from scratch, this project will use my custom board, which is similar to this base hardware circuit ( click here ) with UART and a few GPIO usage. I have used Silabs Simplicity Studio extensively for EFM32 chips for programming and debugging - this IDE is pretty easy to follow in terms of device config, include dependent libs and references. For SES I am a bit at loss. Following are my specific questions:

How do I make a board file for my hardware?
how do I set up / copy / import the dependent files - like say GPIO, UART or SPI?
And I guess may other developers may be facing similar questions.
Would you please help me with what steps should I follow?
Thank you so much!

SilasValera you can check out the other ARM base boards in zephyr to see if they’re close to your board with the nRF52811. Since there is limited flash space on the nRF52811, I’m not sure if Zephyr supports it. The only thing that I found was nrf52840dk_nrf52811 which emulates the 811 using a nRF52840. This is probably better addressed with Nordic or the NCS documentation.

Got it!
Thank you so much Jared for your prompt reply!
