Updated toolchain installation walk-through.. no steps left out

[LlamabobAl2]

Hello, I'm trying to install the toolchain for the nRF9160.  I have the nRF9160 DK.   I installed Segger Embedded Studio for the nRF9160. 

I was able to install nRF Connect v3.4.1.   Under Toolchain Manager, I show 4 choices.  I installed the top one thinking it must be the newest.  nRF Connect SDK v1.3.0, and I see the "First steps to build" button.   

Under steps 3, I have no zephyr folder.  

Backing out to the "Getting Started Assistant" it warns not to use this tool, but rather go to the Toolchain Manager which is a dead-end.  

I also looked at the Youtube videos on the toolchain.   These were dated 2019, and are obsolete.   

Is there an updated step-by-step to follow to install the entire nRF9160 toolchain on a Windows 10 laptop?

Thanks, 
Bob

This comes close.

I made it through this page and on the next page "Building and programming a sample application",  in the section "Building on the command line",  I type 

west build -b nrf9160dk_nrf52840

and I can't get past this. 

I'm getting closer !!

Under steps 3, I have no zephyr folder.  

Did you install SEGGER Embedded Studio Nordic Edition separate from the Toolchain Manager, and use that? Then I think you will get some issues with the zephyr folder (zephyr base). This is not needed, as it will be installed automatically when you installed nRF Connect SKD v1.3.0. Simply click on Open IDE, and the correct SEGGER app will pop up.

These links may be helpful:

• Check out the NCS tutorial (it is currently being updated and is not stable at the moment, since it's currently being updated. But soon it will)
• Take a look at this answer

Best regards,

Simon

I had this error as well. I have manually configured SDK and tool chain.

I did not have "ZEPHYR_TOOLCHAIN_VARIANT" and "GNUARMEMB_TOOLCHAIN_PATH" set.
