VSCode - nRF Terminal no longer opens compoerts

garrettb

Hi

I have a strange issue here.

I have been working with Nordic's sample project for AWS IoT, with the nRF9160DK.

What I usually do to see the serial output, is to view the output on COM 6 via the NRF Terminal within VS Code.

Typically, that means, near the bottom left of the IDE, I click on CONNECTED DEVCES, I se the device, with three ports listed, I click on VCOM0 / COM6, and kthen at the top of the IDE it asks me what baud rate etc. - so I select 115200 and then I see the output displayed.

Now this morning, that no longer works for me.

I click on the VCOM0 / COM6 (or any of the ports), and no baud rate selection appears, and all I see is this blue searching/scroll continuously moving across the top of the NRF Terminal window, as if it is trying to find the ports but failing.

SO what I did then is I opened up LTE Link Monitor in nRF Connect for Desktop v3.10.0, select my device, and there is the output from COM 6 being displayed.

The strange thing is: For the last week, whenever I opened LTE Link Monitor in nRF Connect for Desktop v3.10.0, it would NOT show the COM 6 output (the modem light/banner was greyed out).

So I don't know what changed.

I loaded an older project from a few days ago - but no luck viewing COM 6 within VS Code.

I tried pristine builds, device reset, device power cycle, PC reboot.

Has anyone any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Garrett

    Hello, 

    I've tested with my nRF9160DK and had no issues running the command nRF Terminal: Start Terminal nor via "Connected Devices".

    nRF Terminal extension was last updated March 8 (v2022.3.16) on my computer. And nRF Connect for VS Code was updated March 15 (v2022.3.104). 

    Can you please run the nRF Connect: Generate support information ?

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind

    Hello again, 

    My apologies I have just received the news from our VS Code extension team. VS Code has released version 1.66 which broke nRF Terminal. An update of the nRF Terminal extension has just been published on Marketplace to fix this issue.

    Sorry for the inconvenience. 

    Kind regards,
    Øyvind
