nRF9160 new SDK integration and build procedure

[sravan.rikka]

Hi Team,

We are starting new product development using nrF9160 modem.

I saw that new SDK available is v3.0.2. I hope we have to build/compile it in VS code, am I correct?

Can you please provide complete procedure from downloading v3.0.2 SDK from nRF desktop application to build the sample code in VS code.

Regards,

Sravan Rikka

Hello, 

Please see our nRF Connect SDK Fundamentals course in our Developer Academy. This will provide all steps to go forward with NCS and the VS Code extension.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind,

I am going through the links you shared.

Can you please provide your answers to below queries.

1. v3.0.2 SDK is the latest on as of today?

2. How much frequently SDK versions will be released? (Ex: Every 3 months or every 6 months? etc)

3. We have to use VS Code for the development? No need to use segger embedded studio IDE?

Yes, of course! Don't forget to have a look docs.nordicsemi.com as well

The latest stable release is nRF Connect SDK v3.0.2, but there is also a release candidate for v3.1.0 available.

I would recommend reaching out to your local sales representative for this information. I do not have this roadmap information, unfortunately.

You can use which ever environment that you prefer, but Nordic Semiconductor has developed the nRF Connect for Visual Studio code extension which provides an easier, user-friendly GUI to build and configure your embedded systems projects based on the nRF Connect SDK in a single program

Some more information on development can be found under Application Development in the NCS documentation.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
