After update from nrf SDK 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 I can not add build configuration in VSCode - "No Boards Found"

Ok this file structure is not seen. Probably linked to the above error.

I have not tried uninstalling v2.4.1 and when I do I get this:

despite a recent reboot. Maybe a virusscanner is pulling my legs. I was able to delete the files (v2.4.1) and restore them so acces rights are ok.

After this operation the uninstall worked and more important the installation of sdk v2.4.1 worked.

Pheww what a trip for so little. Hope this is just a "spike".

[quote user="larsen"]Can you confirm that the folder structure of 2.4.1 is supposed to be similar to 2.4.0? [/quote]

Yes, the folder structure should be similar. NCS consists of multiple repositories as shown in the image here and you should expect that all of these repositories are present

I assume you've already tried to do so, but could you remove the SDK installation and attempt a reinstall of 2.4.1?

Kind regards,
Andreas

I applied the update sdk then toolchain for 2.4.0 then 2.4.1. But no apparent change.

Can you confirm that the folder structure of 2.4.1 is supposed to be similar to 2.4.0?

I notice that there is at least one error message (MalformedConfig) in the logfile of the Tc. Manager v1.2.5

Hi,

Could you verify the installation method of the SDK? Was it through the Toolchain Manager?

If so, then you might be able to resolve the issue by updating the SDK/Toolchain as shown in the image

Kind regards,
Andreas

i notice that the folder structure for c:\ncs\v2.4.0 is different from c:\ncs\v2.4.1. Is that to expect?

The latter only holds the folders C:\ncs\v2.4.1\.west and C:\ncs\v2.4.1\nrf (with some content)

Should the update tool install a new set of boards files to C:\ncs\v2.4.1\zephyr\boards? If yes, then this has not worked for me and would be a good explanation of the previous reported problem.
