Hi, to configure the runner, you can follow these steps

1. Setup the bossac.exe binaries somewhere on your computer following the guide in https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/latest/zephyr/boards/arm/arduino_nano_33_ble/doc/index.html#programming-and-debugging

2. Add this line to <Path to NCS>\zephyr\boards\arm\arduino_nano_33_ble\board.cmake
set(BOSSAC "<Path to your bossac.exe>")

For example, mine is:
set(BOSSAC "C:/ncs/manual_extras/bossac/bossac.exe").

Make sure that line is before the include line.

However I have tried and found that setting up a task to flash using bossac in VS Code can be troublesome. You might want to just use the command line to flash it, following the instructions in the link above.

How can I configure this runner?

Hi again, based on your first picture, I am assuming you have finished a successful build?

If yes, to be able to flash, you need to follow the guide on the error message and on the page below:

To fix, configure this runner in C:\ncs\v2.0.2\zephyr\boards\arm\arduino_nano_33_ble\board.cmake and rebuild.

Could you investigate that direction and come back if you still have problem?

Again, please be informed that due to company business, I will only return Monday Sep 5.

Hi, I just want to inform you that your reply is not visible; in case that is not what you intended.

And just repeating, but in order to for me to help, please provide more information.

OK I see your pictures now. I will check on it.

I understand that: You are trying to setup a project based on nRF Connect SDK for the Arduino Nano 33 BLE. Is this right?
Could you please provide more information. What have you done? What is the VS Code terminal giving you?

I want to use it in nRF connect "zephyr"

Based on your question tags, I am guessing you want to monitor the Arduino Nano 33 board on a VS Code terminal, while developing on a nrf52840?
If that is your question, I have tried two methods and have decent result:

Setup GitHub - fasteddy516/SimplySerial and call it from a regular terminal
Downside: There seems to be no echo options so you can't see what you are typing
Setup VS Code extension Serial Monitor
Downside: It seems to support only one serial port at a time

If that is not what you are asking about, could you please detail further what you are trying to achieve?
