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

======

1. Create a project folder and `cd` there

1. 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

1. Copy files from the example to the project folder

    + `main.c` -> `src/main.c`

    + `Makefile`->`Makefile.txt`

    + `config/` ->`config/`

    + `.ld` -> `.ld`

1. Open the project with CLion

1. Go through all `Todo` comments in those two files and fill up the information. Use `TODO` tool window for that

1. 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 `.elf`

        * Download Executable: `Never`

        * 'target remote' args: `tcp::2331`

        * GDB Server: path to `JLinkGDBServerCL` executable

        * GDB ServerArgs: `-device  -strict -timeout 0 -nogui -if swd -s -silent`

          Note: For nRF52840 MCU device name is `nRF52840_xxAA`

1. 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***
