how to install ncs 3.0.2 in vscode win10x64?

RE: how to install ncs 3.0.2 in vscode win10x64?

Hello,

Could this be a network issue? Is there any limitation on the network you're using to download the toolchain?

If possible, try using a different, open network to see if the issue persists.Please refer to this older DevZone ticket, which discusses a similar issue.
Also, this ticket explains how you can install the toolchain using nrfutil.

Kind regards,
Abhijith

Hello,

I was reviewing the support information you shared, and I couldn't find any toolchain corresponding to SDK version v3.0.2. The only toolchain I see is the one listed below, and I believe it is not compatible with the newer SDKs.

If the download completed successfully, the toolchain for SDK version v3.0.2 should appear under Toolchains in the support information, something like the example below.

What I recommend is to uninstall everything and then install the latest SDK and its toolchain using the VS Code extension. You can follow the step-by-step guide provided in the Academy course I mentioned earlier.

Kind regards,
Abhijith

Hello,

Have you followed all the steps mentioned in the guide I pointed out?

If you’ve followed all of them and are still facing the issue, could you try generating the support information from the VS Code extension and share it here?

Please see the screenshot below:
