nRF54L15 DK Build Error: Unknown Device Family (Generic)

[wac_2025_may]

Hi, I'm a beginner and I'm trying to run an LED blinking program.
However, I'm encountering a device-related error.

I've followed tutorials and installed all the necessary tools and SDKs.

But I always get the following error:

FATAL ERROR: command exited with status 1: nrfutil --json device x-execute-batch --batch-path
Device error: Unknown device: Unknown device family (Generic)

Can someone help me understand what this error means and how to fix it?
Thank you.

Hello,

Please follow the Academy course and ensure that you have completed all the steps. Also, make sure that nRF Util is added to your system path. You can refer to this blog for guidance.

Kindly share your build configuration and include a screenshot of your entire VS Code window, including where you run your command.

Kind regards,
Abhijith
