VS Code Zephyr Blinky programming but not working (precomplied non Zephyr hex works)

[Zeee]

Can someone help me with a Zephyr compiled blinky hex file please?

My Hardware is a loose standing module setup similar to NRF52833 DK. (same led_0)

NRF5 Sdk hex file works but when I follow the VS Code Startup video tutorial the device programs ok but the LED does not blink.

Only issue I saw in the terminal is attached.

What am I doing wrong? How do I fix the "boards subdirectory" issue?

Strongly starting to consider SES now but I prefer VS Code.

Hi Marte

Thanks kindly for the reply

How do I check what it currently is? (Sorry newbie to VS Code with NRF Connect)

Hi,

In VS Code go to Settings (Make sure you have selected Workspace settings at the top) > Extensions > nRF Connect, and you have a setting called Board Roots. Here you see an example where I have a board root directory C:\nordic:

Which looks like this:

nordic
├── boards
│   └── arm
│       └── my_custom_board
│             ├── custom_board.dts
│             └── custom_board_defconfig
│             └── ...

This is only necessary for custom boards. Boards that are located under nrf/boards and zephyr/boards are automatically added.

Best regards,

Marte
