It is great to see VSCode support for NCS. I believe I have installed everything per the documentation and videos. I have:
- nRF Connect v3.7.1
- Toolchain Manager v0.10.0
- nRF Connect SDK v1.7.0
- Visual Studio Code Version: 1.61.0
- nRF5340-DK
I'm seeing a few issues:
1) I've installed VSCode and can run it from the terminal using 'code' and run from the Mac dock. However, from nRF Connect when I click the "Open VS Code" button I get the error "Install VS Code".
2) I've created an application from an example. When I try to launch the debugger using the bottom bar in VSCode I get the error "Unable to find GDB in default search path and /opt/nordic/ncs/v1.7.0/toolchain/bin/lldb."
3) If I use the "Run and Debug" button on the left side of VSCode I get the error "Could not find the task 'nRF Connect: Build active configuration'." If I pick "Debug Anyway" the debugger does start.
4) The "Call Stack" view does not seem to be thread aware. I only see the currently active threads call stack.
5) I'm seeing this CMake warning:
CMake Warning at /opt/nordic/ncs/v1.7.0/zephyr/CMakeLists.txt:1640 (message):
The CMake build type was set to 'Debug', but the optimization flag was set to '-Os'.
This may be intentional and the warning can be turned off by setting the CMake variable 'NO_BUILD_TYPE_WARNING'
6) At the bottom of VSCode is says "No active kit". What does that mean?
