Nrf Connect toolchain: Update cmake version

[amiramin]

Hi,

We are using nrf connect SDK in VS code environment (V2.70) on Windows. The toolchain (C:\ncs\toolchains\ce3b5ff664) contains cmake v3.21. For our project, we require cmake v3.24 or newer. Is there an automated way to update the cmake application to a newer version within the toolchain shipped with Nrf connect sdk ?

Currenly, we got it working by manually copying the cmake binares and other files in few directories within the toolchain folder which is not elegant. We downloaded the newer cmake version from 

github.com/.../cmake-3.30.5-windows-x86_64.zip

Thanks for the support.

Hi Amir

I had a chat with the VScode team, unfortunately we don't have any way to do this, I will investigate some more and get back to you. What is the features that you need for cmake 3.24 or higher?
