devicetree in VS code

Hi 

I would like to use DeviceTree in VS code. The VS code had installed "nRF Connect for VS Code Extension Pack" and tools chain.

But I can't see any file in "DEVICETREE VISUAL EDITOR".

What is missing? Is it not yet install? If yes, please let me know how to install it.

I know it is very simple for you, but I need your hint to fix it. Please share your advise with me.

Good device treemy NG device tree

  • Hi Naeem,

    Thank you for your support. I've tried restarting your system, reopening VS Code, and rebuilding the project multiple times, but without success.

    Fortunately, it finally succeeded recently. However, I'm still unclear on the installation process.

    I suspect the issue might be something minor, like the installation sequence or attaching the .cfg file (e.g., proj.cfg).

    I'd like to send you a snapshot and guide you step by step. Hopefully, together we can identify the problem.

    Wishing you a Happy New Year!

  • Hi Naeem,

    Thank you for your previous support.

    Despite restarting my system, reopening VS Code, and rebuilding the project multiple times, I am still facing issues with the "DeviceTree Visual Editor" in VS Code. Although it succeeded once recently, I am still unclear on the installation process and suspect the issue might be minor, possibly related to the installation sequence or configuration file attachment (e.g., proj.cfg).

    Could you please provide a more detailed step-by-step guide or troubleshooting tips? I am also ready to share a snapshot of my current setup to help identify the problem more efficiently.

    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
