Moving forward the Toolchain Manager will be the way to go, but from my understanding it may still be in experimental release for Mac, but I believe west build and flash will work, though it may be SES that have some issues at the moment.

I don't know exactly when the latest zephyr will be brought into nrf connect sdk (ncs), but ncs is typically slightly behind. It will depend a bit on when we do a tagged relase in ncs vs. zephyr releases also. I can find the latest is:

Hi Kenneth,

Sorry, yes makes sense. I was assuming that since it was shown here

https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/tree/master/samples/sensor/max6675

that it was part of nrf connect release too.

When the new release does come out, can you suggest the best way of updating? I am using a Mac and have read various things, some suggesting that the nRF Connect Tool Chain manger works and some that don't.

I have tried it and it seems to install the code correctly but all the links/paths are not updated.

For a Mac, what is the easiest way of updating?

Thanks,

Rod

Hi,

I believe that the sensor you are looking at may not yet have been merged to the nrf connect sdk releases, since it is rather new:
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/commits/master/samples/sensor/max6675

This may explain why the CONFIG_MAX6675 is not recognized. I suggest to wait until it's been merged to master branch, and/or possible copy in the files may be possible.
