Hi everyone,
just a quick tip that may save you some debugging time when using the nRF Connect SDK Build Configuration Editor in VSCode.
If you explicitly set a Base configuration file (e.g., prj.conf
) in the Build Configuration, the board-specific configuration file (like boards/thingy91_nrf9160_ns.conf
) is not automatically loaded.
If you leave the Base config field empty, both prj.conf
and the appropriate board config file are loaded as expected.
This behavior can cause confusion if you rely on board-specific options for your target.
So, unless you really want to use only one .conf
file, it's best to leave the field blank.
Hope this helps others avoid the same pitfall!
