Mange SDKs question

I've been having trouble downloading the Connect SDK in VSCode, so I want to download the SDK from GitHub first and then import it into VSCode. How can I import the SDK I've already downloaded into VSCode? I saw in other tutorials that you can add the folder path through Settings > Extensions > nRFConnect > Topdir, but my nRFConnect doesn't have the Topdir configuration option.

  • Hi,

    In the nRF Connect extension in VSCode, you should see the Manage SDK & Manage Toolchain options under the welcome tab.

    Click those and select "Open Toolchain directory" & "Open SDK directory" respectively:

    Make sure that you have the downloaded SDK and Toolchain in it's respective directories, and then it should be fine. Is this working ?

    The toolchain can be downloaded through VSCode and the directory can be opened, and I’ve successfully downloaded it multiple times after deleting and reinstalling. However, when I click Manage SDKs, I only see options for Install SDK and Create West Workspace. I cloned the sdk-nrf repository from GitHub and switched to the tag version v2.9.0. Then, I renamed the entire folder to v2.9.0. What should I do next to import the SDK into VSCode?

    Is my SDK incomplete? I see that the Zephyr folder is empty, and the GitHub tags contain Zephyr version content. Since I'm not very familiar with using Git, what steps should I follow to get a complete SDK?
