"Couldn't find Zephyr root" both SEGGER and VsCode

[Mr.Newlove]

Hello all,

Lost my VM that had a working installation and just setting everything back up.

After installing SDK 1.8.0 and all of the extensions for VsCode. Now both SEGGER and VSCode cannoot find the Zephry root and I cannot find it on disk?

This was not a problem in the past, any ideas?

Thanks

Edit: Another problem... like all of the examples are missing?? searched for serial_lte_modem and it comes up with nothing. Even just searching serial, or application comes up with nothing useful?

Edit2: I installed the most recent 3 releases and none have a zephyr folder anymore?!?!?

Since it's just an empty dir west just gets an error(see video)

What I meant here was that you should compile the Serial LTE modem application which is part of the NCS, an not the one(s) you created yourself via VS Code. When opening the bash, you are already in the root of your NCS, so using the command I suggested (cd nrf/applications/serial_lte_modem) should lead you to the right application from there.

But anyway, since you are able to eventually compile the application in SES, I guess the toolchain itself works. It still would be nice to get a complete build log from the bash, just to double-check that everything is in the right place.

When you set up VS Code with the nRF Connect extension, did you follow all the steps in our video tutorials?

Regards,

Markus

Odd, the quick start wasn't even an option for me the first time I launched.

Had to click "Open Welcome Page"

Now it seems happy, creates the project and seems to be working. I will post back if there are further issues getting it to compile/load

Thanks.
