How to convert a standard nRF5 SDK example into a CLion-compatible CMake project

1. Create a project folder and cd there
2. Download content of this repository to the project folder
   • git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/elmot/clion_cmake_nRF5_stub.git .
   • Delete .git folder
3. Copy files from the example to the project folder
   • main.c -> src/main.c
   • Makefile->Makefile.txt
   • config/ ->config/
   • <some_name>.ld -> <some_name>.ld
4. Open the project with CLion
5. Go through all Todo comments in those two files and fill up the information. Use TODO tool window for that
6. CLion settings
   • Open File -> Settings -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Toolchains and setup a toolchain out of MinGW and arm-none-eabi-gcc
   • Reset CMake caches, wait until indexing is done
   • Create a run configuration of type "Embedded GDB Server" with parameters:

     • Name: flash_debug

     • Target: flash

     • Executable <project_name>.elf

     • Download Executable: Never

     • 'target remote' args: tcp::2331

     • GDB Server: path to JLinkGDBServerCL executable

     • GDB ServerArgs: -device <device name> -strict -timeout 0 -nogui -if swd -s -silent

       Note: For nRF52840 MCU device name is nRF52840_xxAA

7. Flash and debug
   • Select erase run configuration and press Build
   • Select flash_softdevice run configuration and press Build
   • Select flash_debug run configuration and press Debug
