Having trouble Flashing from VSCode

Okay, then it doesn't seem like this is the same issue.

Are you attempting to flash the onboard SoC on anRF5340 DK or a custom board with the nRF5340 DK as the debugger? If you're working on the latter, what voltage is the custom board running at, as the nRF5340 DK only supports flashing targets at 3V by default. Some more information it would be nice to have.

What sample application are you trying to flash?
What version of J-Link do you have installed on your computer?
Have you tried multiple USB cables and USB ports on your computer?

Best regards,

Simon

For clarity, this isn't a problem building the code -- it is a problem downloading and programing the flash on the nrf

I installed the VSCode extensions from within VSCode.

for the nordic SDK , we have cmd line tools with our project, yaml files, etc that set up the build.

I downgraded to 1.87.2 uninstalled all of my extensions and then installed the nrf connect (v2024.7.13) from within VSCode

No intel based toolchains as far as I can tell -- is there a specific one that I should look for and uninstall?

And this did not fix the problem.

This sounds a lot like what multiple users has seen in this ticket: VS-CODE: build hangs: "Found GnuLd: ld.bfd..."

Unfortunately we haven't been able to reproduce this on our end, but one temporary solution has been to downgrade to VS code v1.87.2. Since you're using Apple Silicon, please explain how you downloaded the extensions and SDK, as there might be an issue with the toolchain being incorrect. If you have any Intel based toolchains, uninstall them, and then install the Apple silicon versions that are needed directly from VS Code.

Best regards,
