Jlink is required but not found (VSCode)

[lukeris]

Hello. I have downloaded nRF Connect for Desktop and installed nRF Connect SDK v2,4,0 via Toolchain Manager.

I can see that everything has been sucesfully installed to C:\ncs

I have then downloaded VSCode and installed nRF Connect for VS Code extension with all other dependencies.

When trying to set up nRF Connect for VS Code, I am getting invalid toolchain installion error:

I have also tried the following:

I am not fully understanding what is the issue and why it is not able to detect JLink. I can see the JLINK installed in:

Do I need to additionally setup some environment variable PATHS to ensure JLINK is visible for the nRF Connect in VS Code?

Appreciate any help in advance.

Hello Lukas,

That is odd. Do you have any other options in the Toolchain drop-down menu? The default one called PATH might be wrong, and point to some path variable that has been mistakenly set. 

I assume you've installed nRF COmmand line tools as well btw?

No other options in the drop-down menu.

I dont think I have nRF Command line tools installed. Is that a requirement for VSCode?

Hmm I thought it was but maybe it isn't. Could you try running nrfjprog -v in a terminal, and let me know what version it claims that you have?

The result:

C:\Users\petrikas.lu>nrfjprog -v
nrfjprog version: 10.18.1 external
JLinkARM.dll version: 7.80c

Does it have to do anything with the fact that I probabaly had already JLINK installed prior to NRF Connect installation? Since I programmed STM32 and other ARM processors before, I am sure I have had Segger JLINK installed at some point in the past.

It could be. Could you show me what JLinks are pointed to by your path variables? And it seems that your nrfjprog version is fine, though could you try installing nRF Command line tools either way, just to check if that makes a difference?
