&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m not sure I fully understand what you mean here, so please correct me if I&amp;#39;m wrong. Do you only want to change the toolchain version, or do you also have custom west commands in addition to those included in the SDK that you would like to use? Note that the west workspace you are in and the toolchain environment you have set are separate things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you have the project open in vs code, you can click the button shown below to open&amp;nbsp;a terminal with the same toolchain as the active build configuration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1737382157176v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It is also possible to set the toolchain environment yourself outside of vs code by using &lt;a href="https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Util"&gt;nrfutil&lt;/a&gt; with the toolchain manager package installed:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;pre class="ui-code" data-mode="text"&gt;$ source &amp;lt;(nrfutil toolchain-manager env --as-script --ncs-version=v2.7.0)
&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Best regards,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Vidar&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
