nRF Connect Desktop, Toolchain Manager not working properly.

[Kaushik Parsana]

Hello,

I am working on the nRF5340 and for setup development environment I have install the nRF Connect Desktop setup and try to download the SDk 2.0.0 from the Toolchain Manager v1.0.0, but it gives us below error and not showing the newer version of nRF Connect SDK v2.0.0, it only shows till v1.9.1 version. Looks like that is due to "Failed to download toolchain index file" error.

Can anyone guide me how can we overcome from that error?

Computer Platform: Windows 10
nRF Connect Desktop setup file name: nrfconnect-setup-3.11.1-ia32

Thanks,

Hi Kaushik,

Sorry to keep you waiting.. There seems to be some proxy being enabled.. The web browser would automatically download the right proxy settings over WPAD. We don't have support for WPAD in nrfutil-toolchain-manager.exe, even though the GUI supports that in Version v1.9.1 and below.. This might be the reason why you are unable to see v2.0.0. To confirm that some kind of proxy is running and see if a workaround is possible, could you also try the following steps and let me know.

* Try to run curl https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain-v2/index-windows-x86_64.json and see if that fails.
* Turn the "Automatically detect settings" setting off, and:
- See if curl https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain-v2/index-windows-x86_64.json works
- See if you still has access to https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain-v2/index-windows-x86_64.json in the web browser
- See if` nrfutil-toolchain-manager.exe search still fails, or starts working

Note: The web browser might lose access if a proxy is required by the firewall. If this happens, setting up the proxy manually under "Manual proxy setup" might be required as the workaround.

Regards,

Swathy

Hi SwRa,
I didn't make change on the proxy on my windows 10 PC, and all the following commands worked.

* Try to run curl https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain-v2/index-windows-x86_64.json and see if that fails.

- See if you still has access to https://developer.nordicsemi.com/.pc-tools/toolchain-v2/index-windows-x86_64.json in the web browser

I have installed vs code, from there I installed "nrf connect SDK extention", also in vs code, I installed the SDK v2.5.1. But ""Install Toolchain" failed:

[17:06:50] nrfutil-toolchain-manager: Error: Failed to retrieve toolchain-index

I installed nrfconnect-setup-4.3.0-x64.exe, but running 'nRF Connect for Desktop v4.3.0', the tool chain manager shows only old SDK versions:


 Could you give me some hints?

thanks!

Hi ulyssis,

for me it worked just fine to try other (WiFi-)networks for the notebook.
Hope this can help you out.

Best regards
