nRF Kconfig GUI can't find Kconfig information to display

[ccalvez]

Hi,

I've installed Visual Studio 1.90.2 + nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack v2023.11.3 + v2.6.1 toolchains + v2.7.0-rc2 SDK.
Then I create a new application, copy a sample, blinky.
I add a build configuration for a nrf9161dk_nrf9161_ns(all by default).

When I want to open the nRF Kconfig GUI I get this message:
"Unable to find Kconfig information to display. Please select a Kconfig file first."
Guiconfig  works well.

I also got this output from the Kconfig:
"[Info  - 8:03:27 AM]

boards\kconfig.:54: recursive 'source' of 'boards\kconfig.' detected. Check that environment variables are set correctly.

Include path:

boards\kconfig:54

I have tested the same setup on 2 different windows 10 machine, without success.

Did I miss a step in configuring the nRF Connect SDK?

Thank you,
Best Regards,

Cyril

Sorry for the bothering, I finally found a solution when I generated the support information for nRF.
The HOME path was modified by the GIT Extension installation.
I modified the HOME environnement variable to my home directory and nRF Kconfig is opening.

Hi Cyril

As you are using the rc2 I would strongly recommend that you use the pre-release version of the NCS extensions in VScode

I would also recommend that you upgrade to the NCS 2.7-rc2 toolchain

You can install this by using nrfutil

 

nrfutil upgrade
nrfutil toolchain-manager search --show-all
nrfutil toolchain-manager install --ncs-version <VERSION>
