Problem flashing nRF52840-DK board through VS code

[Mortal]

I have downloaded nRF connect setup V5.1.0 and nRF command line tools V10.24.2.

downloaded nRF connect extension , SDK pack and tool chain in VS code.

I added the build configuration as per the nRF video to setup VS code.

Code is compiling, but when I try to flash it into nRF 52840-DK board it giving me an error.

I am assuming that I have done something wrong during setup. Please help me understand and correct my mistake.

If you need more details, please let me know so I can share it here.

Hi,

You need to download and install nRF Util , according to the error message.

Hi,

Thankyou, I manually installed the nrfutil.exe and placed it in a folder and copied the folder path. then I added the location of the folder in environment variables , variable named "PATH". it is working now.  after flashing from VS code no error generated but board did not behave as I programmed. after that I tried to flash the merged .hex file through nrf programmer and it worked. it was a sample blink program. I did not understood why flashing with VS code didn't change the hardware behavior of the board.

regards,

Mortal

Hi,

Could you tell me the steps of how you tried to program vis Vscode?

Did you try to flash the blinky sample using Vscode? Could you tell me the SDK version that you used?
