Hi,

I see that you have got nRF Connect for VS Code instaled and also got the SDK code itself and toolchain. Can you elaborate on what the problem is now?

Hi,
I wish I can use "west flash uf2" in shell, now is

Working directory: /home/wols/Documents/GitHub/ButtonSync
SDK:               nRF Connect SDK v3.1.0
Toolchain:         nRF Connect SDK Toolchain v3.1.0

wols@wols-ROG-Zephyrus-G14-GA402XV-GA402XV:~/Documents/GitHub/ButtonSync$ west flash uf2
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/command-not-found", line 27, in <module>
    from CommandNotFound.util import crash_guard
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'CommandNotFound'

Hi,

I see. Nordic does not support the UF2 bootloader specifically, but it is supported in Zephyr itself and from wat I can see it should work. However, I believe the commant to flash with the UF2 runner is "west flash -r uf2". (Also, this reuqiers that the board allready has the Adafruit UF2 Bootloader).

Hi,

I means do we have way to use nrf tool chain's west?

In my under standing we should export tool chain's west to shell env, and then I can use that west in normal shell.

I am looking for a button or tool or script to export nrf tool chain's west and nrf tool chain's  python.
