Upgrade CMake version of nRF Connect toolchain

[ebariaux]

Hello,

Is there an easy way to upgrade the CMake version that is used during the build process trigger from the nRF Connect SDK Extension in VSCode ?

I'm currently using toolchain version 2.6.0, which is using CMake version 3.21.0

I need to use at least version 3.29 (using Embedded Swift for development).

I'm working under macOS and managed to get a project working by replacing the 3.21.0 folder under /opt/nordic/ncs/toolchains/580e4ef81c/Cellar/cmake/ by a symlink to my more rect installation of CMake, so

ln -s /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cmake/3.30.1 /opt/nordic/ncs/toolchains/580e4ef81c/Cellar/cmake/3.21.0

Is there a cleaner way to do this, using some configuration ?

Above solution works but it applies to all projects and it's a hack.

Thanks,

Eric
