nrf connect extension for vscode DT Visual editor stopped working

[H.Marske]

Hi,

I just updated my vsCode extension and the visual devicetree editor stopped working

I can compile just fine but changing the DT will prove difficult from now on.

This is a current screenshot of my visual editor:

i also printed the nrf-connect-support.json:

What should be my next steps?

Hi Hendrik,
Could you please share what you see in the node and file tree view? (Like the pictures below)



Best regards,
Benjamin

[H.Marske]

The blanked out parts are the project name with customer name wich is currently under NDA. But its all the same and its all the same. my custom board

Best regards,

Hendrik

[Benjamin]

Thanks Hendrik,

1. It looks like the board does not have SOC or CPU nodes. Can you confirm these exist?
2. Does the .dts file include any .dtsi files? If so, could you share the paths where the .dtsi paths are relative to the SDK and application?

[H.Marske]

so it appears not to find the corresponding chip-level.dtsi-files.

Here are my.dts (once again the customers and project name are substituted):

/dts-v1/;

	};

	pwmleds {

		compatible = "pwm-leds";
	};

	reserved-memory {
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <1>;
		ranges;
	};
};

&flash0 {
	partitions {
		compatible = "fixed-partitions";

		boot_partition: partition@0 {

When importing nordic/nrf52....dtsi there is an error in vscode:

Here is my corresponding .dtsi-file wich is included above:

&pinctrl {
};

Here is my DT-overlay:

If you need anything else just let me know

[Benjamin]

Thanks,
Just to confirm, are you seeing this issue for this application only or is this a global issue?

[H.Marske]

I can confirm this is a global issue as its also present after i compiled the adc-sample from zephyr.

Same issue

[Benjamin]

Have you tested a Nordic sample on a Nordic DK?
Can you confirm that your custom board is located in /boards/{arch}/{board_name}? Also, could you clarify what the {arch} folder is?

In the case below, the parent folder of the board is arm. This tells the devicetree to load the arm include path from the SDK.

[H.Marske]

yes i tested the zephyr-adc-sample with a buildconfiguration using the nrf52840DK-Board and the corresponding .overlay-file suggested when i click the dropdown.

The /boards-folder used is in the project-directory with the following scheme:

once again everything blanked is the customername.

i also defined another board root for other projects:
C:/my_boards

so my arch is also arm.

Before updating my extension it worked more or less flawlessly. I had the issue that the visual DT did not update according to my textual representation, but i could live with that.
