Hi,
I tried to install manually nrf connect sdk and zephyr sdk as per the documentation says for version nrf connect v2.4.2 and I'm wondering how to setup properly the toolchain path since I'm unable to build projects. The build system seems to be miss configured because the path to arm gcc is wrong. See the build output below :

The vscode extension uses PATH variable to locate arm gcc toolchain but it appends /bin to the path, leading to a wrong path deduction... It doesn't use the GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH along with ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT globally available in the system since setup in the user's .profile file.
Moreover, in the vscode extension when I click on "Manage toolchains -> Set Active Toolchain -> Browse" and then select the arm gcc toolchain directory, the result is an error message indicating the selected directory contains an invalid toolchain.
Best regards,
Hugo
