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

I have

  • updated from sdk 2.4.0 to 2.4.1.
  • Created a  multicore hello_world application from samples inside VScode
  • Proceeded to create a build configuration but the tool does not find any boards. The pull down scrollbox is not being populated. It holds the default value: "No boards Found". This irrespective if I select Compatible boards, nordic boards or all boards in the radio buttons.

I have installed the two sdk's in the recommended locations c:\ncs

I notice that the toolchain is still using the same toolchain as v2.4.0

Any idea what is missing here.

  • 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".
