Hello Devzone Community,
To compile nRF Zephyr based applications at the command line normally depends on the meta-tool `west`. `West` has many capabilities and options beyond compilation, including `west update` which helps to sanely manage third party code project and library dependencies. I am developing code for an nRF9160 based project and am incorporating Segger IDE Nordic version into my toolchain, which is presently based on Linux shell tools cmake, west, dts and the others detailed at Nordic's instructional page to set up nRF Connect SDK toolchain manually for Linux. From my limited ability to "look under the hood" of Segger, I observe or believe that when building my project in Segger, e.g. by pressing <F7>, that Segger quickly calls `cmake` from which the build proceeds. Does Segger however require that my workstation have `west` installed? Or may I compile, flash and debug nRF Zephyr based apps using Segger without `west` on the same host?
Is there in Nordic's version of Segger IDE a menu option to run `west update` or its equivalent? If not, and my work requires a Zephyr app or Zephyr project update, is the correct way to have west installed and issue `west update` command at a shell prompt?
