Unable to debug on nRF54L15-PDK using VS Code

Hello,

I have the nRF54L15 PDK and am experimenting with the intermediate tutorials for the Zephyr RTOS. I am working on Lesson 1 - Exercise 1 (https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-1-zephyr-rtos-advanced/topic/exercise-1-exploring-threads-and-isrs/). The build is succeeding in VS Code; but when I attempt to run / debug, I get the following error: "Debugging on nRF54 is available only with Hardware Model V2 builds." When I build for my nRF52-DK development board I can build and run / debug without issue.

I am running VS Code on a Mac M2 Pro chip with MacOS version 14.6.1 (23G93). My VS Code and extension versions are as follows:

  • Visual Studio Code : v1.93.1
  • nRF Connect for VS Code: v2024.9.87
  • nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack : v2024.9.5
  • nRF DeviceTree : v2024.9.26
  • nRF Kconfig : v2024.9.20
  • nRF Terminal : v2024.9.14

My nRF54L15 board version is 0.7.0. Attached are screenshots of my configuration and the error message. For the build configuration, I have used both the “All” radio button as well as the “Nordic SoC” selection and both fail with the same warning. I have also tried “Build system default” as well as “Use sysbuild” with no luck as well as generating the configuration with and without the Revision specified.

Is there something else I should try or is this board revision not currently compatible with the VS Code toolset?

Thanks,

-Mike
