VS Code - Zephyr - nRF 5340 - example - No ACTIONS shown...?

[radioman85]

Hi

I have set up VS Code (1.93.1) on my Mac (mac OS 14.6.1) with nRF packages and zephyr installed. My nRF5340 DK is also found (however, instead of a nice identificaiton name, it shows a strange number!?). Now, the project did build but now I am unable to download it, because it doesn't show any actions.

Issue:
There are no "ACTIONS" shown. Why is that?

So far I have installed
 - nRF Connect for VS Code
 - nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack
 - nRF Kconfig
 - nRF Terminal
 - nRF DeviceTree
 - ...
 - anything missing?


Does anyone have a hint?
Thanks in advance!!

Normally the SDK and the toolchain should match, in your case it does not seem like it does. The SDK is showing Zephyr version which most likely is OK but we recommend using our tagged versions.

With the action button not showing, I have seen this before and this has been reported to the VSC team. The thing that helped me was to close all instances of VSC and open again. Some of my colleagues said, they had to restart the PC, but we are using windows here, so try if that works on MacOs aswell.

Thank you Susheel!
Indeed, it helped. I rebooted my mac right away since I haven't done that since weeks if not even months! Probably solved many more issues as well
