Thanks

Could you try building the sample in west ? So if this is successful then you could compare the west output you get, to the west build line that is in the output panel of VS Code.

I am not sure why this happens, but it should be, as you mentioned, because of the "cmd.exe" not recognized.

building it perfectly with west and with Segger

The only problem is with VScode

I will abandon this

Thanks very much for your time and help

You can close the ticket

Good morning

So the problem eventually was in the environment variables, after I updated it all go well

Thanks
