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?

  • Hi Taylor,

    Sorry that's it's a bit frustrating. I understand your issue.

    Have you tried downloading the SDK and Toolchain via Toolchain Manager in the nRF Connect for Desktop application?

    You also need to have the nRF Command Line Tools installed.
