issues with nrf sdk and zephyr board files for nrf 9160dk

Hi,

If you try to build an existing sample in the nRF Connect SDK, one that is located under C:/v1.9.1/nrf/samples, do you get the same error? Or do you only get the error when the application is located somewhere else?

Best regards,

Marte

i got this error and it did not change after adding sleep 3

Checking out NCS v1.9.1 ...FATAL ERROR: already initialized in C:\v1.9.1, aborting.
Note:
In your environment, ZEPHYR_BASE is set to:
C:/v1.9.1/zephyr

This forces west to search for a workspace there.
Try unsetting ZEPHYR_BASE and re-running this command.

Hi,

Try opening bash in Toolchain Manager (from the down arrow next to 'Open Segger Embedded Studio') and run the following command

ncsmgr init-ncs

If this returns an error, please open the file ncsmgr_init-ncs.sh (located in C:/nordic/v1.9.1/toolchain/ncsmgr) and add a line with sleep 3 between fi and git checkout "${ncs_tag}" so it looks like this:

if [ "$1" = "--just-update" ]; then
    cd nrf
    git fetch origin
else
    west init -m https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf --mr "${ncs_tag}"
    cd nrf
fi

sleep 3

git checkout "${ncs_tag}"

Save the file, then open bash and run ncsmgr init-ncs again as above.

Best regards,

Marte

Can you try uninstalling nRF Connect SDK by selecting remove in the Toolchain Manager, then reinstalling it?

i deleted the .vscode file and the build file but when trying to make a new build I still have this issue

Hi,

Can you try deleting your build configuration and the .vscode before creating a new build configuration? The .vscode folder should be located in your project folder. It is possible that you have one in both c:/nordic/v1.9.1 and your application folders (c:/nordic/Wicelab/uartAttemp91 and c:/nordic/Wicelab/hello_world), so make sure to check and delete it all places.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi,

There seems to be an issue with the installation or environment variables, since you get an issue with running west build. Please generate support information in VS Code and upload it here. To do so, open command palette in VS Code and write nRF Connect: Generate support information. After selecting this the information will be generated in the output terminal. Copy the output and upload it here using Insert > Code.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi,

In version 2022.4.219 of the VS Code extension the pristine build button was removed and there is instead a pristine build icon to the right when hovering over the build action.

If you are getting an error when building, please upload the complete log from the build output with the error.

Best regards,

Marte
