Docker image build for building nRF Connect SDK applications

[Prateek2203]

I am trying to create a docker image using this below GitHub example with whole nRF VS Code development environment.

https://github.com/NordicPlayground/nrf-docker

After creation of docker container, although I see nRF SDK is installed in the directory "/workdir/". But VS Code's nRF connect extension unable to find NRF SDK in the container.

Could you please suggest any configuration or path setting required in order to detect installed NRF SDK?

Thanks,

Prateek

Hello Prateek,

Please fill in the following information:

Operating system:

VS Code version:

nRF Connect for VS Code version:

After creation of docker container, although I see nRF SDK is installed in the directory "/workdir/". But VS Code's nRF connect extension unable to find NRF SDK in the container.

How do you try to find nRF Connect SDK currently?

Best regards,

Maria

[Prateek2203]

Operating system: 20.04.6 LTS (Focal Fossa)

VS Code version: 1.85.1

Currently, NRF Connect extension will find the NRF SDK if install manually inside docker container by following command :

west init -m github.com/.../sdk-nrf --mr v2.3.0

Hello,

I am currently looking for a way to make this work, but I am struggling a bit. I have not been able to find the docker image of NCS from the nRF Connect for VS Code extension, but I have seen that it can be found from the Dev Container extension when I am building a sample with docker. I will try some more and also post a question internally.

The documentation you linked has two methods for getting the docker image: Are you building from source or using the pre-built image?

Best regards,

Yeah, I am building from source using Microsoft image.

FROM mcr.microsoft.com/devcontainers/universal:2

and adding dockerfile present in below link:

Hello,

I have contacted the team responsible for nrf-docker and asked for some tips on this. Thank you for your patience.
