Hi,

when I try to generate support information I get this error

any suggestion how can I solve this?

Thanks

[Priyanka]

Are you able to build the samples on other IDEs like SEGGER?

-Priyanka

[Ofir_A]

yes

On Segger all work perfect

[Priyanka]

Have you installed all the extension packages?

Did you make sure to download the latest version of nRF Command Line Tools?

Also, if you wish to disable the assert statements, you could try adding CONFIG_ASSERT=n in the prj.conf.

Are you still not able to Generate the Support Information?

[Ofir_A]

Hi

I really appreciate you trying to help

all the extensions installed

I tried to build from terminal as well

  I have the latest nRF tools

I think maybe the main problem is because of this "'cmd.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed."

not sure

environment variable looks ok

Really don't know what to do...

I think I will abandon VScode and use Segger instead

BTW I have windows 11 unfortunately
