Hi,

[quote user=""]This time around I'm wanting to learn to use the VS Code environment for embedded dev and learn how to use make files to actually build a project and generate a hex,[/quote]

I would suggest you use nRF Connect SDK for VS Code. See https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/ and https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/connect/build_app.html

[quote user=""]This is proving to be somewhat tricky so was wondering if anyone else has succeeded in this using the nRF5 SDK[/quote]

For nRF5 SDK, it only supported SEGGER. See the SDK Release Notes

The following toolchains/devices have been used for testing and verification:
 
 - ARM: MDK-ARM version 5.25   
 - GCC: GCC ARM Embedded 9.2020-q2.major
 - IAR: IAR Workbench 7.80.4
 - SES: SES 5.42a

Regards,
Amanda
