Hi Amanda,

That's exactly how I installed them. They were just fine several days ago.

Many thanks,

Zhihao

Hi,

How do you install the VS code and NCS?

I would suggest you install by the Toolchain Manager. See Installing automatically documentation.

Thanks for your reply, Amanda.

When I tried the sample you suggested, the VS code warned me that "Makefile entry point not found" and "Make not found". I've tried both NCS v1.9.0 and v2.0.0, and didn't make any difference. I didn't even start making changes. These warnings didn't show up when I was following the tutorials on Youtube "Introducing nRF Connect for VS Code" and "nRF Connect for VS Code, 2: Create an application" provided by Nordic Semiconductor.

Best wishes,

Zhihao

Hi,

nRF5_SDK_17.1.0_ddde560 is not supported by VS Code. See the SDK Release Notes.

In NCS v1.9.0, you can use Bluetooth: Peripheral UART which has similar functions as ble_app_uart. The latest version of NCS now is v2.0.0. If you are new to NCS, I would suggest using v2.0.0.

Regards,
Amanda
