Visual Studio Code boards.h not found

[nl671dev]

Hi,

I am new to BLE development. I am using Visual Studio Code and Nordic SDK v2.7.0. I had working code a few weeks ago. I went on vacation, and when I returned I had all kinds of errors. The first one is 'boards.h' not found. I also have errors with many other header files.

#include "boards.h"

#include "app_util_platform.h"

#include "app_error.h"

#include "nrf_drv_twi.h"

#include "nrf_log.h"

#include "nrf_log_ctrl.h"

#include "nrf_log_default_backends.h"

How might I fix this?

Hi Nick,

This could be because of some corrupted update to the SDK or VSCode or even the VSCode nRF extension. Did you update (or observe any auto-update that took place) to any of these recently after you came back?

Yes I am certain that VS Code and the nrf extension auto-updated. I am not aware of any auto-update function for the SDK.

Could you tell me your nRF VSCode extension version as well as VSCode version?

[nl671dev]

VS Code v1.95.3

nrf Connect v2024.11.75

Hi Nick,

Could you try to downgrade the nRF extension version and check if you still face the issue?

Also, please make sure that you open the VSCode via the Toolchain Manager.

Regards,

Priyanka
