case about nRF Connect SDK install on ubuntu 22.04.5 server

peter.min

Hi,

1. Using VS Code plugin remote ssh to access the nRF Connect SDK environment on ubuntu server on windows, the board cannot be found.
2. Please help me troubleshoot the settings configuration file on ubuntu and see how to configure it correctly
3. The ncs version is v2.9.0

The error message is as follows. I think this is the problem

Kind regards,
Peter.Min

    Hi, 

    May I know the exact steps for how you set up his environment?

    It seems you somehow installed a toolchain bundle that belongs to Windows and not Linux. The correct toolchain bundle ID for NCS 2.9.0 on Linux is b77d8c1312 instead of b620d30767.

    Perhaps just removing and reinstalling the toolchain fixes this issue, but it would be nice to know how was it installed in the first place.

    Hi Amanda Hsieh,

    1. I installed the nRF Connect SDK on Ubuntu Server for multiple ubuntu users
    2. I create a new directory to Add example hello_world but Add build configuration is gray, click no response, how to solve

    The installation directory is:

    /opt/ncs/toolchains/b77d8c1312

    /opt/ncs/v2.9.0


    3. See the following log for more information:
