Hello,

Thank you for providing the documentation links. Yes, we should update the documentation to reflect this. I will report this feedback internally.

Hello, thank you very much – I understand nRF5 is in maintenance mode, but isn’t possible to fix with information that you just gave me (SES v5.42a for nRF5 SDK v17.1.0 -> look at nRF5_SDK_***\documentation\release_notes.txt) at least in the web page for Installing SEGGER tools that comes from either of those links:

Thanks

Hi,

I apologize for the ambiguity in our documentation. We recommend using the SES version specified in the SDK release notes:

v6.20 introduced some breaking changes, as I mentioned in this post: RE: Library heap not functional when migrating from SES 5.70a to SES 7.32

[quote user=""]BTW: Is there a way to use VS Code with nRF5 SDK (I think I saw long time ago some tutorials from Sparkfun)?[/quote]

We only offer official support for VS Code development with our nRF Connect SDK. While it is possible to use VS Code with the nRF5 SDK, doing so would require setting up your environment from scratch and use third-party plug-ins for debugger integration, etc.

Best regards,

Vidar
