Hi Lina,

Are you using an nrf52840 DK, custom board or any other hardware? Could you provide more details regarding this?

Also, could you provide details of your software too? (nrf5 sdk or nrf Connect SDK, it's version, your J-Link version)

Kind Regards,

Priyanka

Hi Lina,

what is the version of your nRF Command Line Tools? Also, could you share your path to where the command lines tools are saved?

And, what is the path of your nRF Connect SDK library?

Thank you for the information. Could you also share a snippet of your VSCode page when you create a new application? It should look something like this:

Also, where do you have the ".nrfconnect-apps" and ".vscode" folder ? For eg, it could be in C:\Users\l.marcos. These contain the required extensions etc. The error most likely occurs because VSCode cannot find the required Command Line Tools or extensions. Did you download the nRF Command Line Tools, nRF Connect for Desktop etc from the Nordic Official sites?
