Hi,

The error occurs because gpios is a required property of led0. Why do you want to remove it instead of just marking it as disabled?

If you do want to remove it, you can try this:

/ {
    aliases {
        /delete-property/ led3;
    };
};
/delete-node/ &led3;

As for why this happens in the visual device tree editor, I’m not sure. I see the same behavior when following your steps. I’ll need to check with the team maintaining the tool.

Best regards,
Benjamin

Now this is the actual construction project, and I don't understand. Even if I change my computer, there are records of this event happening. Curious, how should I learn command line to build projects? Do I have any routines??
Assuming I already have it, can I build it through the VSCode terminal or change the path of the build project
Thank you for your response this time

Do you get errors when you actually build the project? Those editor outputs might be a cosmetic only problem.

Note that this DT overlay won't delete the LED entry fully IMHO, and thus may cause actual build errors later.

I recommend learning how to manually build the project with the command line (west build). VS code build configs tend to break horribly with DT errors.
