I did a quick test on my end using SDK 3.1.1 and the latest VS Code (1.105.1) and latest nRF Connect for VS Code (2025.9.798) and with that I get the files generated as expected following the <a href="https://academy.nordicsemi.com/courses/nrf-connect-sdk-intermediate/lessons/lesson-3-adding-custom-board-support/topic/exercise-1/">guidelines in the execise</a>:</p> <p><img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1762244465231v1.png" alt=" " /></p> <p>You should see a note in the lower right corner that the board was successfully generated:</p> <p><img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1762244490999v2.png" alt=" " /></p> <p>And then opening the folder (in this case in VS Code), you can see the content:</p> <p><img style="max-height:240px;max-width:320px;" src="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/resized-image/__size/640x480/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/pastedimage1762244505377v3.png" alt=" " /></p> <p>Do you do the same but the files are not generated? If so, which SDK version are you using, and can you share the detailsof your VS Code setup by generating support information and sharing it here (see <a href="https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/nrf-connect-vscode/page/reference/ui_sidebar_welcome.html#toolbar-actions">Toolbar actions</a>)?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
