Hi.
For a while I have had some issues with the toolchain when using the nRF connect SDK in visual studio code on windows 10. I believe it was after installing SDK version 2.8.0 that I saw the problems first, although I'm not entirely sure. When I use certain commands I get errors in toolchain versions other than 2.8.0. For instance, if I try to build and flash an application using SDK version 1.9.1 and toolchain 1.9.1 I get the attached output.
First of all, is there a workaround to get this to work? I'm currently flashing manually with nrfjprog from command line.
Secondly, should I be matching toolchain versions and SDK versions in the first place? What is the intended/recommended way to use SDK and toolchain versions? If I try build my application with SDK version 1.9.1 and toolchain version 2.8.0 the application appears to run as expected, even with some improvements: resulting merged.hex file is smaller and more warnings are caught in the build process.
