Building Thingy53 edge impulse FW with VSCode

After building the Edge Impulse firmware from the command line I was able to open the app in VSCode. I was then able to do a pristine build!

Thew build configuration included the following overlay

thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.overlay

The build configuration included 4 extra CMake arguments

-Dhci_rpmsg_OVERLAY_CONFIG="C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/samples/common/mcumgr_bt_ota_dfu/rpmsg_child_image_overlay.conf;C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/subsys/bootloader/image/secure_boot.conf;C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/subsys/partition_manager/partition_manager_enabled.conf;C:/Nordic/EI/firmware-nordic-thingy53/child_image/hci_rpmsg.conf"

-Dmcuboot_DTC_OVERLAY_FILE="C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/modules/mcuboot/flash_sim.overlay"

-Dmcuboot_OVERLAY_CONFIG="C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/subsys/pcd/pcd.conf;C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/subsys/partition_manager/ext_flash_mcuboot_secondary.conf;C:/ncs/v2.4.0/nrf/subsys/partition_manager/partition_manager_enabled.conf"

-DCACHED_CONF_FILE="c:/Nordic/EI/firmware-nordic-thingy53/prj.conf;c:/Nordic/EI/firmware-nordic-thingy53/boards/thingy53_nrf5340_cpuapp.conf"

Now I wonder If I can build the firmware without 1st building from the command line using these build configuration settings.

I was able to build the code from a command line using the v2.4.0 SDK installed via VSCode extension.

I will try to build it from within VSCode today.

Hello,

[quote user=""]unable to figure out how to build the Edge Impulse firmware (GitHub - edgeimpulse/firmware-nordic-thingy53: Official Edge Impulse firmware for Nordic Semiconductor Thingy:53) .[/quote]

The Edge Impulse firmware is based on nRF Connect SDK v2.4.0. This is stated in e.g. the Dockerfile, where you can see it will download v2.4.0 with the following Docker command:

RUN cd /ncs && west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr v2.4.0

I can confirm that it does not build with e.g. v.2.6.1 but does build with v2.4.0 when testing here in the VS Code extension.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
