nRF Connect for VS Code does not use nRF Util

Hi 

I am moving from espressif IDF vscode to nRF Connect vscode. I have been reading the docs and the academy. I am only frustrated and confused. I see in many places that command tools are depreciated and that the tools now are called Util. But then why the Connect extension asks for command tools? I have SEGGER J-Link and Until.  Why this is not enough? 

Using the nRF Connect SDK v2.9.0 at /Users/***/nordic/ncs/v2.9.0
️❗️ nrfjprog couldn't be executed. Please ensure that SEGGER J-Link Software and Documentation Pack and nRF Command Line Tools are both installed.

  • Hi,

    I am sorry to hear of your frustrations. While nRF Command Line Tools are in the process of being phased out, the VS Code extension still uses nRF Command Line Tools for most of the existing device families. This means, for now, you do need nRF Command Line Tools.

    This is likely to change for the next nRF Connect SDK release, but for now the older tools are needed, yes.
