RE: Setting Zephyr directory in VS Code

The ultimate resolution had to do with the way we keep our repos. .west needs to be in the top of the repo. Then we had config like this:

[manifest]

path = Code/app

file = west.yml

[zephyr]

base = external/zephyr

This let us keep our Code/app structure lower in our repo tree and keep external (all the west repo pulls) in our top (and use .gitingore to ignore it).

We still have a west.yml in our 'app' folder. It keeps this nice. Most importantly, NCS can find the sdk and allow it to be selected.

west.yml for reference:

manifest:

self:

west-commands: scripts/west-commands.yml

path: app

remotes:

- name: ncs

url-base: https://github.com/nrfconnect

projects:

- name: nrf

remote: ncs

repo-path: sdk-nrf

revision: v2.6.1

import: true

path-prefix: external

Hi,

Thanks for reaching us for your inqury.

Since you are using both zephyr and nrf, you should refer to this document from NCS: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/app_dev/create_application.html#workspace_application.

https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/dev_model_and_contributions/adding_code.html#workflow_4_workspace_application_repository_recommended porivde more detials and there are examples you can refer to.

Best regards,

charlie
