Hi,

I have fixed the problem by completely removing all SDK versions and re-installing v1.8 only. Kconfig is now functional.

I have not tried moving to other SDK versions as I'm short of time. I will try to do this as soon as possible in the near future.

Kind regards,

Hi,

The problem that you have might be related to incorrect installation and/or configuration of the nRF Connect extension for VS Code. Please take a look and follow the steps shown in nRF Connect extensions for VS Code.
When you make a new project based on a certain sample, you should be able to click on both prj.conf and Kconfig. There should be no errors and you should be able to edit prj.conf directly in VS Code.

Best regards,
Dejan

Hi Dejan,

Thanks for your message.

>> Could you specify which command you executed before receiving errors that you mentioned?

I'm not sure. I can create build configurations, build, flash and debug the application without any problems. So the last command I executed was probably a single-step somewhere in the application.

However, the application does not work out-of-the-box and there is a Zephyr forum conversation about needing additional configurations set - that's why I need to edit prj.conf.

Once the build system throws the errors that I have shown above, the only way that I know of to fix it is to completely delete and re-install the nRF Connect SDK. That's what I am doing now and it takes a bit of time so I'll respond again as soon as that is complete.

REgards,

Hi,

You can edit prj.conf either directly in VS Code or manually using any other editing application. The KCONFIG error is not related to editing of prj.conf.
It seems that the build system is not working correctly on your machine.

Could you specify which command you executed before receiving errors that you mentioned?
Could you please try to build any other NCS sample and see if you get similar errors?

Best regards,
Dejan
