Hi again,

Apologies for the wait, we have had a holiday.

Apparently, this is because the nRF Connect VS Code Extension couldn't handle the .yml file extension, which the bmp581 binding is using.

I have noted this point with the extension team. For now, could you please change the bosch,bmp581.yml file to the .yaml extension instead?

Could you please generate support information and share it?

I will have to check with our VS Code Extension team for why that is the case. Please know that it might be a while before I can follow-up though, because we are in the Easter holiday period here. My apology for the inconvenience.

I’m using NCS main which has the bmp581 driver and it’s working fine. It compiles and I’m able to read the pressure data. The problem is just with the swigging red and yellow lines in VSCode. I just can’t figure out why the extension isn’t aware of the sensor.

the bma4xx sensor driver is an example of a recently added (to main) driver that also works fine and VSCode extension doesn’t show squiggly lines.

Hi pixbroker,

It seems like the bmp581 is not supported yet in the latest releases of both the Zephyr RTOS upstream and the nRF Connect SDK Zephyr RTOS downstream.

That is why the build system could not provide support for the sensor.

However, I see that two months ago, the support was added to the Zephyr RTOS main branch, and this has been pulled into the main branch of the nRF Connect SDK Zephyr downstream.

You can either use the main branch of the SDK, or cherry-pick the commit that added BMP581 support.

I recommend cherry-picking rather than using the nightly state of the SDK. Remember that if you do this, you need to check that all the files are at the latest version compatible with the current SDK.
