Hi Taylor,

Could you delete all current versions of SDKs that you have installed, and then try to have a fresh installation of the SDK via VSCode extension?'

Hi,

I guess your network is too slow for github, maybe you need to download through VPN.

The latest version of the nRF Command Line Tools has already been installed.

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.

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,

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 ?

Regards,

Priyanka
