VS Code: How enable verbose output for compilation, west and imgtool

[MarcelR]

Hi,

I am using nrf connect SDK 2.9.0 with nrf52840DK and MCUboot with own RSA .pem file (from older versions, so no ECDSA possible).

How can I increase verbosity when building the project by click on "Build pristine" in VS Code?

I would like to see exactly all west, gcc, imgtool.py, etc. commands invoked with all their arguments.

And how can I set that all commands use their verbosity level (-vv --verbose etc) when launched by sysbuild over UI?

Thanks

Marcel

Hi Marcel,

You can add an extra CMake argument as shown here: https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/app_dev/config_and_build/multi_image.html#controlling_the_build_process, or if you wish to make it permanent you can add a CMake argument here https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/zephyr/develop/west/build-flash-debug.html#permanent_cmake_arguments.

CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=1 can also be added to your CMakelist.txt to make these arguments always be included when building this project.

It should be the same when using sysbuild in nRF Connect Extension (which is what I assume you refer to as "sysbuild over UI"

Let me know if this works for you, 

Kind regards,
Andreas
