nRF Connect VS Code Extention

[Emre Bayraktar]

I'm having an issue while trying to install the nRF Connect vsCode extension. I assume that extension has auto board detection feature. However, on my computer, this feature does not work as expected. There is another device connected to my computer which opens a couple of virtual com ports. When I enable the nrf extension, it continuously opens and closes these com ports, making them unusable. How can I disable the auto-board-detection feature ?

Hi, 

Sorry for the confusion. I've successfully installed and uploaded code to nrf54L devkit. I'm also doing development on  Quectel's SoC's which connected via USB and creates seven virtual com ports for different purposes. I meant the Quectel's SoC by "another device". 

The problem arises when I plug in the Quectel device while the nRF Connect extention is enabled. Once connected, extention continuously opens and closes the com ports of Quectel SoC. Since its automatically does this open/close behaviour, I've assumed that nRF connect continously search through avaiable com ports to find a nrf board.

When you plugged in Quectel device, was any of Nordic devices connected?
How did you verify opening and closing of the ports of the Quectel SoC by the extension?

Best regards,
