ncs_install_path/PathToToolChain

Question

Hi, 
 
 Going through the nRF Connect SDK Intermediate course on Lesson 2 exercise 2 step 9 there is a command ncs_install_path/PathToToolChain/opt/zephyr-sdk/aarch64-zephyr-elf/bin/aarch64-zephyr-elf-gdb build/zephyr/zephyr.elf 
 When I run this I get a "No such file or directory" error. it's unclear if the install path is supposed to be changed like in step 7 or not. Is this a configuration issue? 
 
 OS: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS 
 vscode: 1.94.2 
 sdk: 2.7.0

I actually just found it. It's the toolchain part that I was confused on. I think that the folders should have the brackets as in step 8. So ncs_install_path/PathToToolChain/opt/zephyr-sdk/aarch64-zephyr-elf/bin/aarch64-zephyr-elf-gdb build/zephyr/zephyr.elf should be //opt/zephyr-sdk/aarch64-zephyr-elf/bin/aarch64-zephyr-elf-gdb build/zephyr/zephyr.elf with a "make sure to edit the path before running" as stated in step 8. and perhaps a tip could be added that the toolchain folder can be found by going to manage toolchins . then open toolchain directory.

I had similar issue, once i identified what " ncs_install_path/PathToToolChain" mean, i am able to execute gdb. In my case it was the following line i had to execute C:
cs	oolchains\c57af46cb7\opt\zephyr-sdk\aarch64-zephyr-elf\bin\aarch64-zephyr-elf-gdb.exe build/zephyr/zephyr.elf So PathToToolChain was "toolchains\c57af46cb7" 
 You should be able to find your toolchain path by clicking here.
