[ChrtistophAT]

Hello, 

I m new to nordic in VS code. Bought two nRF5340 DK for ADC conversion and wireles data transfer.

Followed all Youtube install instructions "nRF Connect for VS Code 1 and 2"

(2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwJtcPZHV30&list=PLx_tBuQ_KSqEt7NK-H7Lu78lT2OijwIMl&index=3

When I open VS Code got error message:

Extension are installed like in the Video. In video 2 (link above) examples from zephyr folder from SDK are used, which I am too unable to find or select.

Directore where SDK is saved

I found

but dont know if this the same issue andf solution in my case?

Any ideas whats the problem.. many thanks in advance for any help!!

Hi Christoph,

Did you install the SDK and toolchain with the Toolchain Manager? If so, are you using VPN or on a network with a strict firewall, such as a company network? The reason I am asking is that I see that you have multiple missing folders inside v1.9.1, so not everything was downloaded and installed correctly. This can happen when using VPN or being behind a strict firewall when downloading. If you use Toolchain Manager the v1.9.1 folder should contain the following:

v1.9.1
  ├── bootloader
  ├── mbedtls
  ├── modules
  ├── nrf
  ├── nrfxlib
  ├── test
  ├── toolchain
  ├── tools
  └── zephyr

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Marte,

thanks for fast reply!! Yes installed SDK and toolchain through Toolchain Manager, as described in the youtube video. No no VPN used, only some WLAN repeater is used and my firewall is the common default windows one, nothing extra special or so.

Can I download manually or do I have to deinstall and try again with other internet connection or disable firewall?

Again thank you and best regards,

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Can you try following the steps in this comment by Markus? The ncs folder in his reply will be your nordicsemi folder, and you should look for a file called something like ncs-toolchain-v1.9.1-20220304-728bbd5.zip.

Best regards,

Marte
