Zephyr Base not set and "Open IDE" not present in Toolchain Manager

[Frikkie Badenhorst]

Hi there,

We are trying to download and install the nRF Connect SDK v1.5.1, which seems to be the latest version on Toolchain Manager.

However, after installation, the "Open IDE" button is not present. I thus manually open SEGGER embedded studio from within the SDK install directory. However, I then get the following "Zephyr base not set" issue:

Looks as if the installation was not successful at all, below is the installation log:

Finished cloning version v1.5.1 of the nRF Connect SDK after approximately 0 minute(s)

I do not have a VPN enabled, I always disabled the antivirus as well as the network firewall, and no success. Please advise as soon as possible as we are on a tight timeline to decide on hardware.

Thanks,

Kind regards,

Hi, Vin!

Try the method Frikkie just added. If that doesn't work, please open a new ticket for the issue.

Best regards,

Hi Carl,

I've executed everything as mentioned above, but the "Open IDE" is still missing. Here are the loggings from the bash terminal (I have replaced my user name with $user$ here). Can you please advice?

Note: switching to 'v1.6.1'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by switching back to a branch.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -c with the switch command. Example:

git switch -c <new-branch-name>

Or undo this operation with:

git switch -
