NFC support in Visual Studio Code. And sdk Support

[tolomaj]

HI.

I started developing with chip nrf52840 using Visual Studio code.

Unfortunetly i didnt find any examples haw to use NFC paring in VS code.

If i understand corectly VS code can compile only zephyros librataries and can't compile NRF_SDK?
And are there any examples of NFC use in VS code / zephyros ?

Have you checked the following sample? Bluetooth: NFC pairing — nRF Connect SDK 2.4.99 documentation (nordicsemi.com)

There is also this one:Bluetooth: Central NFC pairing — nRF Connect SDK 2.4.99 documentation (nordicsemi.com) but requires more hardware than just the DK.

Hi. thanks for response.
I tried open this sample(samples/bluetooth/central_nfc_pairing) but there are many errors.

Im managed to add .h files to cmake. But i getting these errors:

error: Aborting due to Kconfig warnings

What that means and how can i solve that?

And when i removed those options in proj.conf i getting many errors like this:

C:\ncs\v2.4.2\nrf\include\nfc\ndef\ch_msg.h:30:35: error: 'CONFIG_NFC_NDEF_CH_MAJOR_VERSION' undeclared (first use in this function)

| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have you any idea what can be the problem?

Hi, 

Please try to update SDK from ToolManager instead of modifying the proj.conf.

I already updated sdk and toolchain but VS code throwing same errors.

Have you some other idea?

Did you see the error before you modified the project?

What .h files do you add into cmake?

Do you also set the correct toolchain version v2.4.2? 

Are you using VScode or west build for building project?

For VS code:

Before i modified project has no included libraries as nfc/ndef/msg.h so i didnt see that error.

I added those folders to CMakeLists.txt containing <nfc/___.h> librataries and that solve issue with not included librataries:
  include_directories(C:/ncs/v2.4.2/nrfxlib/nfc/include)
  include_directories(C:/ncs/v2.4.2/nrf/include)

I think iam using west.

Can be that the problem ?

If so how can i switch to VScode?
