DevAcademy - nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals - Lesson 1 Exercise 2

[superaga]

Hi Nordic community,

I'm starting this course as I'd like to start with Nordic.

I can't continue (better to say, start) the course as the instructions are different from the menu option I have.

At this point:

I don't have the option "Copy a sample". I then went to the installation folder (C:\ncs\v2.6.1\zephyr\samples\basic\blinky) and I copied to a local folder.

Unfortunately from that point onwards I couldn't continue, as the IDE doesn't allow me to execute the "Add build configuration".

How should I proceed?

I'm currently using the following versions:

VSCode:

Hi 

Just to verify here, you are using NCS 2.6.1 right?

Can you please provide me an image of the option you have in the NRF Connect extension? 

If you hit create a new application, which options do you see? 

Like this

Hi runsiv  many thanks for your reply.

Yes, I installed both the SDK and the toolchain using the version 2.6.1.

Here the options I have:

I also spotted that on the right lower corner I have a red icon:

If I press "Manage SDKs" I get this:

While, if I press "Manage Toolchains" I get this:

So, from the above pictures "looks" like that the both the SDK and the toolchain are correctly installed, although the red icon tells me something different.

Is possible that the issue I'm having depends by this?

Kind regards.

Thanks

Just a quick shot in the dark. When you see the same as your first image. Hit file and open a new window and see if you can select the SDK

I decided to remove and reinstall everything, and now the system behaves as expected.

Thanks to all for the provided support!.

Kind regards,
