West and Zephyr paths using NCS.

Hi,

I saw a Linkedin post by Zephyr where they mentioned some Vscode extensions for devicetree and kconfig:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=trond-snekvik.kconfig-lang

However, I am having trouble getting these extensions working due to paths.

I've looked around in ncs/ and am unable to find west. Where is this located?

I am guessing zephyr base is located at ncs/zephyr/.

Hi!

Have you installed west? West is written in Python 3, so it should be located here C:\Python37\Scripts\west.exe.

Zephyr base is /path/to/ncs/zephyr, yes. 

Best regards,

Heidi

Hi,

I've installed ncs v1.3.0 through nRF connect. It seems that nRF connect sets everything up in a local, isolated enviroment which seems like other outside programs can't find anything. Since west is working when using nrf toolchain manager -> open bash it must be located somewhere. So my question is if there is any easy way to make my system understand that zephyr and west is installad as usual by pointing to the correct files in ncs.

*Edit: Nevermind it worked after a restart. Thanks for the help, configuration just got way easier.
